Morzine has been Renamed!!

After years of comments it appears that the huge male to female ratio has finally tipped the scales with Morzine being renamed as Manzine!

Yes, that’s right, someone (probably of the non official variety) has taken the renaming into their own hands after noticing the distinct lack of female presence in resort and in turn has re christened the town for all to see! The Pleney Stade now reads

Manzine rather than the usual Morzine-Avoriaz!!

Obviously, here at Independent Mountain we do not condone vandalism and the de facing of public property in any way.  However, if you want to book a trip to manzine then please click here!

Bored of attending the same old hen do? Do you instead want something a bit more adventurous, filled with fun outdoor activities, luxurious spa treatments, beautiful scenery, fine wine and delicious local cuisine? Then why not treat yourself and the girls to a hen do in the Alps!

Calling all brides to be and their hens, who want to do something a little different to the traditional pub crawl dressed in silly outfits (Now, don’t worry this doesn’t mean fancy dress and favourite tipples will not make an appearance along the way), however, if you’re after something a bit more imaginative and loads of fun then a hen do in the Alps is for you!
