Picturesque alpine village resort setting.
Superb skiing range with excellent progression.
On The Slopes
There is excellent skiing in the immediate vicinity of Morzine, including the areas of Pleney, Nyon and Les Gets.
The skiing is ideal for beginners and intermediates alike with an interesting variety of both gentle blue pistes above the tree line or similarly undulating runs that wind their way back down through the trees to the village.
The ski school meeting point is at the top of Le Pleney (1554m) from where intermediates might venture further afield towards the many blue and red runs in les Gets.
For the advanced skier reaching the top of Nyon at 2019m you are rewarded with fine views of Mont Blanc, Lake Geneva and the surrounding villages and ski area. Just as satisfying, however, is the steep 'Aigle' run riddled with hairpin bends!
Advanced skiers, with the extended pass, will also appreciate the extensive domain of the Portes du Soleil and a trip to Avoriaz with the many challenging runs there - including the Coupe du Monde - is highly recommended.
The area has hosted the Snowboarding World Cup certain proof that this is the place for the boarder. There are specially designed snow parks in both Morzine and Les Gets and the range of red and blue runs will keep snowboarders challenged all week.
Off The Slopes
The lovely village of Morzine is renowned for its good selection of bars, shops, restaurants and night spots. In addition to this there is an indoor skating rink where the French 1st division ice hockey team play, horse drawn sleighs and a cinema.
