Anyone considering Morzine area?

This morning I took a lovely young couple to Luton Airport, they have been over to see family and are heading back out to St Jean d'Aulps where they live. They were telling me about how they met in the mountains whilst doing a season, and ended up living out there and setting up a business.....I love these kind of stories.

Anyway, it seems they started by cleaning chalets, and have since branched out into offering a service I'd never come across before. Basically, you book self catered accommodation in a chalet and these guys prepare and serve your food for you. So its like a catered chalet without having a couple of 18 year old cooking badly straight out of a menu book (like a certain tour company I have used in the past).

Bearing in mind that a lot of people now go self catering, and often to places close to major airports or in areas easy to drive to, sounds to me like these guys might just have found a niche. I have to be honest and say I'd not come across it as an option before, as I'd always considered either a hotel half board/B&B package with eating out in the evenings, or a fully catered chalet, or self catering with eating out every night (or a tin of Macaroni back at the apartment if you can't be bothered). So this throws in a new and interesting alternative as far as I can see. Maybe its just me and others have come across this kind of thing before?

Anyway, I don't want to be seen as trying to get anyone free advertising, but if anyone is heading out to this area and was considering their options, maybe it would be worth having a look at their website or having a chat with them, as I know the guy is a professionally trained chef.
I think the company was called something like More To Love

My brother has a chalet in Morzine and I think he has it down to a Tee (spelling?)

Anyway, the chalet he has sleeps 9 and he gives the guests the option of either doing the full self catering like you would usually (we would anyway), or he can arrange for a chef to do the cooking all week (1 night off from memory). The vening meal is a full 3 course, very high quality food. The chef is English so there is never any language barriers and they never go near a "menu book" and will cook according to taste - they will even buy any wine you want..

The other service that my brother has arranged for his guests (FOR FREE!!!), is a deal with the local ski rental company. You pre order your ski with them and they come to the chalet and bring it to you instead of you sweating in the shop. They do all the usual adjustments. It is a great sercvice, again the guys are English speaking (aussies) so the whole process is simple. They even pick them up from you on your last day. And the additional cost for this?? ZERO!

Where I am going with this is that there are niches out there and the chalets that can tie up with these types of people and offer true flexibility are the ones that will succeed - and it certainly has worked for my brother

This is not an advert for his chalet, but if anyone is interested let me know - it is on the road up to Avoriaz.

I've used Andy Sagar from More to Love several times and could not recommend him highly enough. Great food and service, top guy!

Excellent. Thats good to hear first hand from someone. He was a really nice guy.

Just looked at the website - the £20 pp delivery drop off menu seems a good idea I find it difficult cooking decent meals with limited access to ingredients - wish they were in my resort....

Sounds like a brilliant idea. We're off to Les Gets in Feb so I'll look them up - thanks Tony
