We try and keep Chalet Skade to guests in their twenties and thirties. If you are 40 or over please do book your spot in our other chalet, Chalet Hubert which has no age restrictions.

Our ski and snowboard trips are perfect, whether you are a beginner or a pro, on your own, with your other half or with a group of friends, come and join us on one of our small group trips. We get a good mix of guys / gals and skiers / snowboarders at all abilities.

Chalet Skade is the quintessential chalet in the mountains - just a seven minute walk (in trainers, we have lockers) to the main Super Morzine lift and has all the toys; real log fire, huge balcony, pool table, sauna and hot tub in the garden! It isn't a 4* luxury palace - but it's super homely and you'll love it.

We have been running skiing / snowboarding trips to Morzine in the French Alps since 2009. We absolutely love it here due to it’s varied terrain which is brilliant, no matter what level you are. Although - do check out our beginner / improver trips or even our more advanced off piste weeks!

This year we also have trips that go to several different local resorts – On Piste Safari and we also have a week lined up heading to St Anton in Austria! But our heart is, and always will be, in The Zine!

Morzine is a ‘year round’ town located in the heart of the Portes du Soleil, one of the largest ski areas in the world, which offers over 650km of slopes.

Our trips are a bit different to the normal chalet holiday. Most of our guests are solo travellers, although we do get couples and small groups of friends – it’s a real social, laid-back experience. It’s a bit like going on holiday with your mates and even the chalet crew are ‘part of the gang’

We don’t offer ‘la-di-da’ food but we do offer home cooked grub, a home-from-home atmosphere and a fantastic opportunity to make new like-minded ski / snowboard buddies.

Included in the price:

• Shared accommodation (Don’t worry if you’re travelling solo, we’ll match you with someone the same sex).
• Welcome drinks.
• 5 evening meals on evenings of the chalet’s choice (normally we eat out as ‘a chalet’ on the first / last evenings at your own expense, but it’s all pretty flexi).
• Unlimited beer, wine, soft drinks, tea, coffee & hot chocolate (alcohol with meals).
• Breakfast each morning of porridge, cereal, baguettes, jams, toast, fruit, eggs - we do a 'full fry up' on one morning too.
• “Raid the fridge” policy, with snacks, biscuits, cakes, waffles etc available at all times.
• You are welcome to make sandwiches and take packed lunches out of the chalet supplies.
• HOFNAR hosts do everything from cooking breakfast and hanging out on the slopes with you to preparing dinner and leading the all important aprés!
• Benefit of staying with a small group of like minded people, in a really laid back chalet where you can raid the fridge, wander around in your pyjamas, really make yourself at home and there are no kids! 

Extras to pay for:

• Travel to France – Most people fly to / from Geneva Airport (look on kayak.co.uk or skyscanner.net for some of the best prices). Any arrival or departure times are fine. Although your room might not be ready – you could definitely arrive early / leave late and bag extra days on the snow!
  • Obvs, the plane isn’t the only way – here’s a few more ideas
• Transfers from / to Geneva. We work with a company called Ski Lifts and you cn expect about £60 each way… you can go cheaper on scheduled services, but these often won’t wait and might drop you ‘a bit of a walk’ from the chalet.
• A lift pass – we can have this waiting for you in the chalet – read about the options here
• Equipment Hire – we work with Hubert Sports in Morzine. They give HOFNAR guests 20% off, but expect about £130 for a week’s hire of skis or snowboard and boots
• Lessons – we work with all the schools in Morzine – more info here
• Clothing – you need your own ski / snowboard gear – beg, borrow, steal from friends otherwise use ebay, TK Maxx. Check out our packing list or if you need more help just give us a shout!
• Insurance – Comprehensive travel insurance including winter sports cover is a condition of booking. All guests must have adequate cover in place before travelling.
• Two nights we normally go out for dinner as a group and at your own expense. Typically we’ll go for a fairly informal pizza on the first night and something more “Français” on the last.
