Sat, 20 Nov 2010 09:31:55 GMT

Hi all

I have comer across a deal for Morillon for xmas week that is only 299 each - not including flights. Slopeside chalet fully catered. I am in the process of convincing OH that we need this week away as well as our two weeks in Austria in Feb.

Can anyone give me any info on Morillon as we have never skiied France before?

thanks!

I went there in 2005 and going back again in January 2011, nice tree lined runs with an excellent ski school, part of the Grand Massif area 265k of piste, prices pretty good for France.
What chalet are you considering ?
Also worth remembering some chalets will provide airport transfers.

Im staying there in January it has an excellent location at 1100 mts and is ski in and out, I think you have a bargain.
My daughter in 2005 had her first proper ski lessons there and they really looked after her at 3 years old.

Thanks for the update Ian. From your description it sounds ideal for what we need. I just mentioned it to OH - again... He is not budging yet :roll:

I have just shown the kids the pics of the chalet so they will help me with the convincing:lol:

Enjoy your trip :!:

Judging from your posting times, it took you as long as four hours to get your own way - perhaps with a bit more practice, you could get this time down by at least three hours fifty-nine minutes....... :D

Have a great holiday!
