The snowy slopes of Super-Morzine, the humming of the cable car ascending towards 1,900 meters, the instructors' torchlight descents in the evening. Morzine in the 1960s, at the precise moment when the resort transitioned from a Savoyard village to a major alpine destination. This official brochure from the Morzine Tourist Office, Haute-Savoie, covers both seasons, summer and winter. It features advertising for Hotel Le Chablais, where J. Vuarnet is listed as co-owner-manager, Olympic ski champion at Squaw Valley in 1960. A name, an era. The Super-Morzine cable car, the summit Chalet-Restaurant, Hotel Le Dahu open year-round. All the charm of a developing resort, photographed and printed at the very moment it was happening. Blue card cover illustrated with a black and white photograph of the snowy peaks. Clean interior, good state of preservation.
