Sunday Times success story on the L’ Aiglon de Morzine residence!

The Sunday Times has published an article on one of Erna Low’s favourite residences in Morzine, Portes du Soleil. The article centers on a group of like-minded professionals who banded together to create an inspiring alpine success story and offers some insightful details into the Alpine property market.

The beautiful L’Aiglon de Morzine is one of just a few developments worldwide that are owned and maintained by a cooperative of owners creating a truly unique experience for any holiday makers fortunate enough to stay there.

Joanna Yellowlees-Bound, one of the founders of Aiglon Morzine Ltd recalls the initial work that went into the development – “It was a real learning curve; we had to organise things like rubbish collection, utilities, maintenance and cleaning”.

Whilst there was a lot to digest in the initial months, no obstacle was too large and the group has quickly come to turn this into one of Morzines premier developments.

“As a group, we have a lot of expertise” says Joanna, “we have marketing and sales professionals, a finance director and a property developer, as a group we’re very capable”.

Joanna says because the way the development is run, there is a “vested interest in making the flats as successful as possible, a normal management firm wouldn’t put the same effort into upgrading, redecorating or adding personal touches. This isn’t just any rental business – it’s ours, and we take pride in it”

The L’ Aiglon de Morzine is getting some brilliant feedback and turning into a regular destination for many of its guests, the group wishes everyone a warm welcome and a memorable stay.

BUDS – British University Dry Slope Championships in Edinburgh bring back memories of my season in Val d’Isere!

Sadly my days as a seasonnaire in Val d’Isere are over and snow withdrawal symptoms have been getting to me all summer. So instead of waxing my skis and stocking up on thermals; I’ve bought tinned food and even bought an economics text book (shock, horror!) and dragged myself away from gap year temptations to the University of Birmingham. But who’d have thought that I could keep up my skiing obsession at uni! Apart from Birmingham boasting one of the best ski (and snowboard) clubs in the country – going to the British university dry slope championships (BUDS) in Edinburgh last weekend did replace the amazing seasonnaire lifestyle for a bit. Despite the 7hr bus journey and the arrival at 9am, no one could get past the excitement of trying out the huge Hillend dryslope and the epic kicker that would be overrun by over 70 universities and over 1100 competitors!

Hillend - A beautiful sunny day ending with real SNOW!

As well as two days of competing in both racing and freestyle there was two epic nights out, first at City night club in the city and then a black tie event with a delicious meal (even though the usual uni antics resulted in our cheesecake being refused to us; I’m still wondering what they are going to do with all that cheesecake?!) and after party.

Boarders wow the crowd

Sadly I wasn’t competing, but came along for the awesome weekend and to watch all the amazing Brumski (Birmingham ski and snowboard club) members shred up the dry slope; even passing the finish line on their backs, landing back flips, making podium finishes in freestyle and reaching speeds that, even after watching the world cup from my lovely apartment in Val d’isere and Tignes last year, were amazing! Sadly it had to end, so back to essays on ‘industries with an external diseconomy of scales’ and dreaming of landing 360s next year; even if it means hitching a lift with an ambulance home instead of the bus. Or should I ditch it all and grab a cheap ski deal to go back to the Alps for another season? ……… Hannah

Awesome alternative to a season!

Thank you Caroline Thomas for the photos!
