Looks good

First look at the brand new wooden lift pass introduced in Les Gets - Page Officielle this winter!

The lift operator SaGets distributes over 40,000 plastic lift passes each year, but this wooden alternative for Winter 23 is chic, packed with tech and we think it makes a lovely holiday souvenir! 👏👏👏

We’ve a small but potentially encouraging travel update for you this morning.
Our ‘man at the airport’ reports that Swiss border police have reinterpreted the rules re landing at Geneva Airport and travelling to to France in a meeting this morning. It’s now possible to land and travel into France with a ‘droit d’établissement’ - proof of French residency for example, second home ownership potentially (untested but 🤞) or a work contract (some encouraging movement on this for season workers, some less encouraging reports also). This update isn’t currently published on any official websites, just to note.
This rule change is slight progress on where we were last night, and it indicates that a change to the regs for tourists may be possible in the coming days. It certainly feels like there’s a tonne of political and administrative stuff at play and an equal amount of opinion.
If you’d planned a holiday to Morzine, Les Gets or Avoriaz in the near future, my personal advice would be to hang fire... wait before you cancel anything, if you possibly can. The situation is changing by the hour, so don’t write your early season winter holiday off just yet. Our resorts will be open and our local businesses are desperate to welcome you. Hold tight lovers.

If you’ve visited Morzine in the summer, you’ll no doubt be familiar with Indiana’Ventures and their treetop adventure park down at Les Dérèches. Maybe you’ve been canyoning with them, or even paint-balling. But would you try their brand new and completely unique adventure, l’eXtrême, a...
