We miss you all. It’s been over 11 months since we waved our last group of guests goodbye. It’s been a strange forced sabbatical for us. Sure, we are enjoying the time off, the morning coffees in bed and a spot of ski touring here and there, but..

Truth be told, we miss you all a lot. Seeing how much your kids have grown (and some of them are taller than me now, judging by the photos). We miss the cuddles and catch ups. You know for us it’s all about the little things. Like seeing your eyes light up when we serve you your favourite dish or when we ask you what cake would you like today. We love sharing our new cooking skills with you. The laughs with the kids helping decorate the cake. All the snow men (and women) and the snow mice and snow turtle too. The competitive sledging. We buzz of hearing all about your day’s adventures on the slopes. We miss the wholesome joy of conversation over a cuppa and a slice of cake. And enjoying a film or a board game and cheeky glass of wine with you at the end of the day.

While we are keeping busy with our mini farm, we are already planning and preparing for the next winter. And while we know it’s going to be different, we are adamant at making awesome. We are working out the fine details to ensure we can offer you the service you love, the safety we all need and flexibility you desire, so watch this space. New exciting things are coming. We are looking forward to welcoming you all again at Mountain Utopia and can’t wait to be part of your awesome holidays in the mountains again. So, stay safe and healthy and hopeful and see you again soon.

Here’s to another awesome winter! We are really looking forward to this one. The snow is great. We’ve been out and conducted the quality control checks for you and let me tell you, it’s pretty sweet out there. Avoriaz opened 2 weeks early, and Les Crosets 3 weeks before schedule. We had the pleasure to sampling some incredible powder and the great depths of it that are already on offer. We can’t wait to welcome some of our regular guests, who by now feel more like friends and family to us. We’re also thrilled about meeting in person all the new arrivals at mountain utopia. It’s interesting how you build a relationship with people over the phonecalls emails and through social media, so then when it finally comes to meeting face to face, it feels like you’ve known each other for a long time. We’re super happy to tell you that Emma will be joining us for the second season in Morzine. Our hostess with the mostest, flapjack baker extraordinaire and our fabulous assistant is back to help us make your holiday even more enjoyable. So, what’s new? you might ask. And there are a few things. Not in any particular order: * We have bought a second minibus and that means that all of the guests can set off for the lifts at the same time if they would like to. No more waiting around. * New upgraded recycling system. We intend to sort all the landfill materials in house and find the recycling centers that can take them. Think: wine corks, CD’s, crisp packets etc. It’s a big project, wish us luck. * New, extra large bath sheets. Because we care and listen to you. And if you want to wrap up in a big towel, we will get you your big towel and make sure it is luxurious and fluffy. * Brand new exciting menu, inspired by our travels. We’ve been working hard all summer, honing our skills catering for weddings, filling in top end restaurants and running galleys on luxury barges. Trust me when I say this, we’ve acquired some awesome new skills that we’ll be using to spoil you rotten throughout your stay with us. I’m sure there will be a few more things you might notice, new pieces of art and decor, new board games and bits of tech.. not to mention the new lifts and ski runs waiting for you.. but let’s not reveal it all. Otherwise we might spoil the fun of discovery.
