English Editorial : winter 2014

This year has seen a welcome number of new, including British, members.

Our friendly organized walks, catering for all levels, are always a popular summer feature. 

The ARM Tennis Tournament took place in fine weather.  However a persistent downpour accompanied the barbecue but that did not spoil the enjoyment of the event.  This year instead of a Summer Dinner we had a Summer Lunch.  This was held at Les Deux Criquets a venue we have used before.  The event was fully up to the high standard we have come to expect from Les Deux Criquets both in terms of catering and entertainment.

The winter beckons and yet more investment has taken place on the slopes.  The Proclou and Seraussaix chairlifts have long been a bottleneck as they receive a lot of traffic from users staying in Morzine but skiing in Avoriaz. These chairlifts also service some of the excellent beginner level slopes in Avoriaz, and are thus frequented by many ski schools. The new Seraussaix chairlift means that there will no longer be an annoying push along the top to get back to Super Morzine. The top of the Seraussaix will be slightly higher along the Super Morzine ridge meaning that it is a short, downhill track (rather than long flat) to access the Super Morzine slopes.  Look out for good deals with ski passes mentioned elsewhere in this Newsletter, as are also details of our December Dinner.
