Why Should I Celebrate A Big Birthday In The Mountains?

Are you celebrating a big birthday this year, or do you know somebody who is? If so, why not make it one to remember by heading to the mountains?

The French Alps provide a fantastic backdrop for celebrating milestone birthdays. Whether you want a low-key gathering with little fuss or something more energetic, ski resorts like Morzine have everything to make big birthdays special. Let's take a look at why a catered chalet holiday is an excellent way to celebrate another trip around the sun.

Your Private Ski Chalet

You'll want to celebrate a big birthday with your nearest and dearest, and what better venue than your own private ski chalet? Our luxury chalets are perfect for friends and family to have the best possible birthday experience. Here's why:

Fabulous Chalet Hosts Look After You

When you arrive at your chalet, our chalet hosts will be there to give you a warm welcome and your first drink in the resort. They will look after you and your group throughout your visit, ensuring a fun and trouble-free stay.

Each morning, your hosts make sure you start your day right with a cooked breakfast before driving you to the ski lifts. Your hosts also create delicious evening meals for you to enjoy after a day on the slopes.

When it comes to birthday celebrations, your chalet hosts can add personal touches to make it a memorable occasion. Let us know in advance, and your hosts will bake a delicious birthday cake and decorate the chalet with balloons and banners.

In addition to this, your chalet hosts are on hand to give you insider knowledge and tips for making your birthday trip even better.

Chalets Are Spacious

Our chalets are perfect for birthdays, as there is more than enough space for everyone. You can sit around the large dinner table or dance around the beautifully decorated and expansive living areas. On top of this, all our chalets have superb sound systems, ideal for cranking up your favourite party tunes.

The Perfect Place To Relax

The chalets' living areas are designed to be cosy and comfortable. So, you can chill out when you're all partied out or relax before the festivities begin. And remember that our catered chalets have large hot tubs for soaking sore muscles after exploring the Portes du Soleil on snow.

Close To All The Action

We have chosen our catered chalets not just for their style but also their location. Therefore, you can get to everything Morzine has to offer very easily.

Morzine is packed full of fantastic bars and restaurants. There's something for everyone, whether you fancy a quiet drink or dancing on tables to live après music. There's even a nightclub that closes at 5 a.m. if you're in the mood.

Of course, we provide a Ski Chauffeur Service to the slopes up to 11.00 a.m. in the mornings and a pick-up service from 14.30 until 19.00. But our drivers also provide an Aprés Ski Boot Drop. They can meet you at the bar after a day on the slopes to swap your skis and boots for shoes. Then, you can enjoy the après scene before staggering back to the chalet for dinner with comfortable feet.

A Little Something Extra

We take care of everything to make your holiday easy; just let us know what you need when you book. For example, we supply high chairs, travel cots, kids' plates and cutlery on request. We can also pre-arrange the nappies, etc., to save you from bringing them with you.

On top of this, we can make your birthday celebrations a little more special with our Champagne, Gin and Wine Upgrade packs. Does the birthday boy/girl have a favourite drink? If so, we can ensure additional gin, wine, spirits, or fizz to be waiting at the chalet for your arrival. But remember, we offer unlimited drinks for our catered guests.

Birthday Treats In Morzine

Even though our catered chalet experience will ensure you have the best birthday in the mountains, Morzine has even more to offer. There are many things that will make the birthday one to remember. Let's take a look at some examples:

Dining At One Of Morzine's Fantastic Restaurants

Our chalet staff have 2 well-deserved days off per week (Tuesday & Friday) in line with French employment legislation. Therefore, you get the opportunity to eat out in Morzine's fantastic local restaurants. Eating out lets you experience more of Morzine and embrace mountain life. Why not sample local Savoyard specialities or go for something a little less cheesy?

Experience Something New

The mountains around Morzine create a big playground, and locals have found many ways to enjoy the landscape in new ways. For example, we recommend night sledging as one of the craziest and most entertaining things to do before dinner.

Alternatively, you can get above it all on a tandem paragliding flight, blast around Avoriaz on a snowmobile, or even ski with birds of prey on Nyon. Click here for more ways to make it a birthday to remember.

If you're looking for another gift idea, why not give them an off-piste skiing experience? The Portes du Soleil has many hidden off-piste gems, but a local guide can take you to them, give you tips on how to ski them better and keep you safe. 

Heading into the Portes du Soleil's backcountry with a guide is a fantastic experience and creates lasting memories. But be warned, it's addictive, so it may not be a one-off day out.

Not everything in Morzine has to involve adrenaline, food and drink. More relaxing gift ideas include a massage, beauty treatments, or a spa day. Morzine has many health and beauty professionals who will come to your chalet for convenient pampering.
