Morzine B&B?

MossM

Heading to Morzine for a long weekend at the end of January and looking for a reasonably central B&B that doesn't cost a fortune - struggling to find anywhere or even a decent website that might help.

Can anyone recommend anywhere? Thanks for any help!

From this website:

"There is a great youth hostel in Morzine, equipped with 76 beds, car & cycle parking, luggage storage, credit card acceptance, a bar, and a pool. It is located just outside of the center of town and very close to the lifts. A reservation is strongly recomended during December, February and Easter."

Haven't been to Morzine but looks like I might be heading for a few days this Winter. Let me know if you find anywhere else!

Thanks for that info - had a dig around and word is that the Hostel closed, will keep looking and let you know what I find - everywhere seems to have a min stay of a week - no recession there yet!

Yes the absence of recession in French ski resorts is bothering. A mate was in Morzine last year and there certainly was a hostel there at that time...

Did you find anywhere Moss, Morzine still on the map for me and am looking for some budget options?

Hi,
Found somewhere in the end alright after much searching - made the mistake of booking flights to stay Fri, Sat & Sun - the Fri/Sat combo spans two skiing weeks so alot of places had no availability. Used www.morzine-avoriaz.com to contact loads (40+) of places - the only availabilty was in the following:
- Hotel Le Petit Dru - e70 pp, breakfast extra
- www.apexmorzine.com - e65 pp B&B - looks nice but on the the outskirts of town.
- Hotel Bonne Valette - e70 pp, breakfast extra

I had booked Le Petit Dru when the Bonne Valette which is more central got back to me - couldn't find anything better value than the above - might have had better luck if we had been arriving early on Sat a.m. staying on a Sat/Sun/Mon - One hotel even suggested to me to stay in Geneva on the Friday and that they would arrange a transfer early on the Sat so we would still get on the mountain early!

Anyways, the morzine-avoriaz website has the most comprehensive listings, I sent off the one mail Bcc'ing everyone I wanted to contact.

Good luck with your search!!

Any other updates on accommodation options in Morzine? There is a group of us planning a long weekend there, around Paddy's weekend. A hostel or cheap B&B would be ideal!

Also, what is Morzine like in general, in terms of food, après-ski, night-life, etc?

Thanks in advance,
edson.

Wouldn't head there for Paddy's day unless you're sure a few days before that the snow is going to be good, its quite low. If you've flights to Geneva you've choice of other resorts which would be higher, Val D'Isere / Tignes springs to mind (further away though), Chamonix closer but more fragmented and more aimed at the hardcore skier.

As per accomodation all I know is included in the thread I posted above, stayed in a nice informal Hotel, think it was called the Ridge, cheap and well run.

We're off to Morzine ourselves at the end of Jan (CAN'T WAIT!) But I was looking into accommodation for a friend, and I found this place at the time.

It was quite resonable, and there was a pool etc. Seemed central enough and has a good review on Trip Advisor.

You should also consider Les Gets (http://en.lesgets.com/). It's a smaller, less well-known town than Morzine, but part of the same system. You might find it easier to find accommodation there.

I stayed in Hotel Le Chinfrey (http://www.tripadvisor.ie/Hotel_Review-g196708-d636275-Reviews-Hotel_Le_Chinfrey-Les_Gets_Haute_Savoie_Rhone_Alpes.html) a few years ago. It was small and quite old fashioned, but very clean and the food was good. It's a small bit from the centre of Les Gets, but is right at the bottom of one of the lifts into the system.
