World of Morz’na Festival

rushadventures — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 10:42:08 +0000

When a family of elves, The Incroyazine, arrive in Morzine for their holidays, they decide to model the village on their fairy world: somewhere between reality and fantasy. These legendary imps invite both parents and children to join in a grand adventure and share some very special moments. Magic, amazing creatures, unforgettable meetings …… anything is possible.
Morzine is playing host to something that has never been seen before. The World of Morz’na is a magical festival focused on all things elfish, fairyish and well… just plain magical. From 28th – 30th July you will find small huts appear in the centre of Morzine where children are invited to visit magic workshops, makeup artists, wood carvers, musicians and jugglers. Storytellers will tell of Elvish legend; Jugglers and acrobats, horses, ponies and unicorns will mingle with stone carvers musicians. I believe there will even be magical tours in the forest and an enchanted assault course for the little ones to navigate. The festival where imagination becomes reality.

Saturday 25th to Sunday 26th June 2011

After leaving the center of Chamonix (1035m) you go up gradually in the Chamonix valley, passing successively through the hamlets and Woods of Lavancher to reach Argentière (1250m). In Argentière the route of the Marathon follows a path toward Planet fields to begin the trail north from the balcony before going down towards Chamonix. After crossing the village of Montroc, you take the path towards the Champ Tré, there you head to cross the Col des Montets (1461m) at the heart of the Aiguilles Rouges nature reserve. Then on to Vallorcine (1260m) nestled in the valley close to Switzerland. You then move towards Posettes Col (1997 m) where a supply of water is waiting for you to regain strength before climbing towards the lanyard Posettes (2201m) where you are rewarded for your efforts with a breath taking panorama on the Mont Blanc. At the Chaleyre you turn off for a nice trail that takes you back to Le Tour. You go through the village before heading to Le Tour glacier. After crossing the bridge you resume a path north towards Montroc, before passing through the hamlets of Frasserands and Tré. At the heart of the Aiguilles Rouges, facing the Mont Blanc, the road rises to the Flégère (1875m). Next a voyage to the beautiful valley of Charlanon (1812m). First you go up slowly, and then the slope intensifies just before coming to Planpraz (2050m), which offers one of the most beautiful views of Mont Blanc.
