If you’re looking to escape the madness of the UK’s pre-Christmas rush — the crowded shops, endless Christmas tunes and hectic to-do lists — then consider treating yourself to a ski holiday in Morzine-Avoriaz the week before Christmas.

Here at Reach4theAlps, we think this is one of the most magical, peaceful and cost-effective weeks of the winter season. Here’s why:

Snow-Sure Avoriaz Opens Early

While Morzine sits at 1000m and snow coverage can vary early in the season, neighbouring Avoriaz at 1800m opens on Friday 12th December and is famously snow-sure. We’ve always had good snow in Avoriaz that week.

To kick off the season, Avoriaz hosts a special opening weekend with free ski and snowboard testing — a brilliant opportunity to try out the latest kit at no extra cost.

Great value before the holidays

 

The week 14th–21st December offers fantastic savings before peak season kicks in:

  • Flights are much cheaper than during the school holidays.
  • We offer early season special prices with flexible dates, perfect for shorter breaks or full weeks.
  • Avoid the festive price hike but still enjoy festive cheer!
  • You can book by the room in our catered chalets
