The Perfect Ski Wedding in Morzine, France.
An unforgettable Alpine Adventure with a ceremony at Lac De Montriond
Dreaming of a wedding that's more than just a day, but an adventure in itself? Picture this: the French Alps as your backdrop, a snowy wonderland filled with thrilling ski runs, cozy chalet stays, and unforgettable moments with your closest family and friends. Your dream ski wedding isn’t just about saying "I do"—it’s a celebration of love, adrenaline, and adventure over several magical days.
Pre-Wedding Fun: Ski the French Alps with Your Guests
Before your big day, imagine spending time with your loved ones carving down the pristine slopes of the French Alps. Picture everyone arriving and settling into a luxurious chalet, the warm glow of the fire crackling in the background. During the days leading up to your wedding, hit the slopes together in Avoriaz, Morzine, or Les Gets. Enjoy après-ski at cozy mountain bars, sipping hot chocolate or vin chaud, laughing over shared runs and thrilling ski stories. This is the ultimate bonding experience that ensures the fun starts long before the wedding bells ring.
The Ceremony: A Magical Moment at Lac Montriond
Now, for the big day itself. Your ceremony takes place in the serene beauty of Lac Montriond, one of the most picturesque spots in the region. Picture this: you and your partner exchanging vows on the lake's edge, with snow-capped mountains reflecting in the icy waters behind you. It’s an intimate moment, surrounded by nature, and perhaps a small group of your nearest and dearest. The quiet elegance of Lac Montriond provides a perfect contrast to the adrenaline-fueled celebrations to come.
Golden Hour Photos and Celebrations in Avoriaz
After your ceremony, the adventure continues. Head up to the high-altitude resort of Avoriaz for an unforgettable ski down the slopes together, just as the sun begins to set. Golden hour in the Alps is nothing short of magical—panoramic views stretch out over the surrounding peaks, creating the ideal backdrop for your wedding photos. Capture these moments as you glide together over the fresh powder, your photographer immortalizing the romance and joy of this once-in-a-lifetime day. For epic wedding snaps we’d highly recommend the incredibly talented HBA Photography. All photos on this blog are his!
Then, it's time to celebrate! Avoriaz is famous for its lively après-ski scene, and there's no better way to party than at the iconic La Folie Douce. Reserved for you and your guests, the VIP area sets the stage for dancing on tables, live music, and champagne toasts well into the night. Your ski wedding wouldn’t be complete without this high-energy celebration.
Post-Wedding Adventure: Helicopters, Parapenting, and Aperol Spritz
The day after your wedding, keep the adventure going! Take to the skies for a helicopter ride over the Alps, where you and your wedding party can enjoy breathtaking views of the peaks you just skied. For the more daring couples, try parapenting over the slopes—a thrilling way to experience the mountains from above.
After the adventure, relax and unwind on a sun-drenched terrace with an Aperol Spritz in hand, soaking up the incredible bluebird skies. (We’d highly recommend Hotel Mil8 in Avoriaz for this) Whether you're reminiscing about the wedding or just enjoying the peaceful beauty of the Alps, this is the perfect way to cap off your wedding weekend.
