About Us

The Great Escape Morzine is run by Darren and Sam Woodley. Anyone who has met Darren will know that he is a whirlwind of energy! This energy and his passion for the mountains lead us to this wonderful area of the world and the start of our business and our adventures in the Alps. Sam is the friendly welcome from when you enquire and throughout your stay and will go that extra mile to ensure you get the most out of your holiday.

We aim to create a smooth running operation so that your holiday experience with The Great Escape is one that you will enjoy and return to again and again.

When you contact us, feel assured that you are speaking directly to Sam or Darren, the owners of the company, who live in the Alps all year round. Before your arrival we can arrange airport transfers, ski passes, equipment hire, child care and advise on which lessons for ski and snowboard tuition to book. We are here on hand to give advice on anything regarding your holiday with us to ensure your holiday is not just good but outstanding. We work alongside our team of chalet chefs, hosts and drivers. We only employ experienced, professional staff who have a passion for the mountains and a flair for the hospitality trade. Through enthusiasm and a dedication to our philosophy of a flexible, personal service, The Great Escape Team work closely together in order to pay attention to your every need.

Your bookings helping others….

When you book with The Great Escape you are not just booking a holiday but you are investing in our chosen Charity within the UK.

LinkAble are a charity who support children & adults with a learning disability to build an enhanced quality of life through sport and social activities in the community

Each year The Great Escape Morzine give a free winter ski holiday to LinkAble. Groups of young adults come out to stay with us along with their carers and/or group leaders.

We would not be able to offer these holidays without your support. So this is a big thank you to those of you who have booked with us!

 

We are also proud to be able to make donations to UNICEF from The Great Escape. By booking accommodation and transfers with us you are contributing to this amazing charity which helps so many people all over the world in difficult and desperate times.
