About Us
Meet the Team
Reach4thealps is owned and run by Gina and Marcus Ewart. Both from Scotland, they were lucky enough to learn to ski as kids in Glenshee (Gina) and Cairngorms (Marcus), and still to this day argue over which resort is best!
Owners
Gina & Marcus
Gina did a ski season in Chamonix, cooking when she was 20 and caught the ski bug and love for the mountains. While her & Marcus both had “proper” jobs, they always missed the mountains and continually talked about moving to the Alps. They ended up working their first season together in Morzine and fell in love with the Portes Du Soleil area.
The company name was dreamed up in All Bar One in Leicester Square, London, with a group of friends and Reach4theAlps was launched in summer 2002. They welcomed the first guests to Chalet Sol Re in December 2002 after lots of DIY, curtain making and trips to Ikea!
They successfully ran Chalet Sol Re for 2 years and then started to expand little by little, and in the years since have grown to have a portfolio of catered and self-catered properties in Morzine. In between all that, they somehow managed to fit in getting married and having 2 kids in the process!

Operations Manager
Jo
Jo has been our Ops Manager since 2019. Her past experiences working as a host on board catamarans in Greece and Croatia meant a smooth transition into chalet hosting and since then, into our office! Her love of skiing and mountain biking makes Morzine the perfect place for her to live, and she is really happy to be a part of the Reach 4 The Alps team!
Resort Crew
Helen and Phil
Helen and Phil have always loved the mountains and so gave up their professional careers and 9-5 lifestyle to follow their dream of working in the mountains to work ski seasons. After 3 seasons in La Tania, they joined us at Reach4theAlps and the rest is history! You’ll find them hosting, driving, cleaning, mowing lawns, cleaning hot tubs - the list is endless. They’re an integral part of the Reach team and we don’t know what we’d do without them!
