    FREE ski holiday?

    Correct. You can go skiing for free. In fact – it’s how I (Daniel) started HOFNAR. Get a crew together and get them to pay a little extra to cover your place… obvs, you don’t need to tell them that and we fully encourage anybody who wants to, in fact we’ll even give you a…

    entry tax to france?!

    Let’s not get to much into politics – but leaving the EU makes us Brits ‘third country nationals.’ It sounds like they don’t love us anymore… probably true. Coming soon to the EU, well the Schengen collective area (pretty similar), is a system that will mean we won’t have to get our passports stamped. Woo…

    Hey team, Sorry I’ve not been in touch – this whole pandemic has sent us reeling a little. Mainly because at this time of year we would normally be super busy having the best time in the snow with you guys… as a result I’ve been twiddling my thumbs a little trying to work out…

    That bloody Covid won’t ruin my ski trip – here’s how!

    Thanks Bozza – I feel the waters just got slightly muddier with respect to that winter break we are all longing for. It’s not all doom and gloom though we (as are most of our fellow chalet operators in Morzine) as excited as ever to be welcoming you this winter. The first snows are set…
