New lift at Nyon

A new lift has been installed at Nyon, from the restaurant at the top on the Nyon cable car to the base on the red run that comes down from the top of Nyon. It's a 4 man chair, or do I have to call it a 4 person chair to be politically correct. It replaces an old button run and makes the resturant, which is very good, more accessible. The new lift is called Les Raverettes. It's a blue down the new lift and a blue and green run can be taken all the way back to Morzine from here.
This is just a small part of the local Morzine / Les Gets ski region.

Morzine Fire Oct 2006

We were up the mountains in Nyon when we saw what looked like a cloud in the valley, over Morzine. As we drove down back into Morzine it was obvious that the cloud was infact smoke, and not an inversion as we first thought. A chalet was on fire, right next to the supermarket Shopi.
Four fire engines arrived and the fire was soon under control. You can see fire fighters on the top two balconies. The chalet was having some renovation and a grinding wheel caused a spark to light newspaper in the roof space, it quickly spread across the whole roof space causing major damage.
It's good to know Morzine can find so many fire engines from other local villages so quickly.

Next trip Dec 9th to Morzine

Well my next trip to Morzine is Dec 9th to 23rd. I have some spare rooms in the chalet so if anyone is looking for some lodgings I might be able to offer a good deal. Hoping for some early snow in Avoriaz or Morzine, we will have to wait and see.
