FREE ski holiday?

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…
