There are action sports in Morzine-Avoriaz for those looking for some adventure but don’t want to ski or snowboard. Some options are slower in pace but are still rewarding activities.
Evening activities can often be added to the corporate ski programme to bring everyone together around a group activity. These include themed nights in the mountains or the resorts.
Group members who don’t see the appeal of snow sports shouldn’t be resigned to searching for new Netflix series.
Thrills in Morzine-Avoriaz aren’t restricted to stepping into ski or snowboard bindings - there is plenty of other action on offer.
Unique to mountain areas, action sports available in Morzine-Avoriaz involve flying, diving and sliding.
YOONER
Strap an office chair to a ski blade, and you will have the basic Yooner configuration. Bizzare and a lot of fun, Yoonerers can experience the thrill of sliding over the snow.
PARAGLIDING
Guest passengers are strapped to a pilot, run downhill and are launched into the still winter air. Gliding with the birds - paragliding is an activity like few others.
ICE DIVING
Far removed from a snorkelling session in the Mediterranean, clients get the chance to dive beneath the ice of the nearby Montriond Lake.
FAT BIKING
With specialist, oversized tyres, fat biking allows bikes and e-bikes to plough over snowy trails in the area's mountains, forests and river valleys.
SNOWMOBILING
Ride a snowmobile around marked trails high in the mountains.
Those who chose not to ski on a corporate ski trip might not be inclined to fly off a mountain under a paraglider canopy!
There are many more relaxing pursuits to enjoy in Morzine-Avoriaz for the non-skiers in the group.
Many of these activities offer glimpses or experiences of the area’s winter wonderland.
WINTER WALKING
Winter walking is an excellent option for those wanting to explore the area’s pristine nature. Clients can experience the winter forests, river valleys and mountains with a guide.
SNOWSHOEING
Slightly more technical than winter walking, clients strap on snowshoes and venture further into the snow of the peaks.
SPA DAYS
Alpine spas provide a fantastic escape to a world of natural relaxation with a thermal pool overlooking the stunning nature. Treatments can be booked to complement the floating in thermal waters.
HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGE RIDES
An iconic way for a sightseeing tour is with a horse-drawn carriage. Sliding across the snow, tours can be arranged around Avoriaz or else to take non-skiers to lunch, dinner or activity venues.
Even if all the individuals have had fulfilling days, the chances are that the skiers and non-skiers will have had different experiences and possibly dined separately.
Group activities are key to building a good group dynamic, where group photos are shot, and memories are made.
These group moments often take place in the evenings, when the skis are parked and the spa lights are switched off.
TOBOGGAN EVENING
One of the classic group activities is a toboggan evening. In France, these activities mainly take place on the ski pistes and can include dinner on the mountain.
TEEPEE / YURT EVENING
Huddle around fire baskets, enjoy vin chaud and dine under a yurt canvas – this is a classic group event activity.
