Re: Flaine, Morzine or Chamonix for nightlife?

[ash]

Neither Flaine nor Morzine has a particularly wild nightlife, in fact
Morzine only had one decent lively bar a couple of years ago so of the two I
would go for Flaine.

Not Flaine, for sure. Just trust me on this, OK?

Morzine is slightly better, but not exactly wild, although it depends
on what you mean be 'decent', I suppose.

It does, doesn't it? I spent a season in Cham so I guess I know it
quite well. I think I've been to every bar and nightclub in town. If
you like mixing it with huge sweaty Scandies in Wild Wallabies it might
be your place. Don't expect to pull it has one of the lowest bird to
bloke ratios in the Alps (12:1 during the season). The Garage is
probably worth avoiding. The club down near the river isn't bad if they
have a band on (sorry I was always too drunk to remember the name).
Dicks-T bar, well I used to get in for free and get free drinks so I
can't complain. A lot of fights outside though so keep an eye on the
geezer getting married... and don't fall in the Arve as a few folks have
died doing that coming out of Dicks, allegedly.

Tradition is to finish up at Beluga or Midnight Express then through up
your grub on the frozen pavement!

Neve been to Worksop[1], on a thursday or any other day, but I doubt
Morzine's _that_ bad :-)


[1] I'm from Derby, so I have probably passed through it on occasion.
