ABOUT MORZINE

Morzine is the main town in the very centre of the Ports du Soleil ski region which straddles the French Swiss border and consists of 13 French and Swiss resorts.  With over 650 linked kilometer’s of skiing this is arguably the largest ski area in Europe. 

The town has been a ski resort since the 1920s and has been at the forefront of many of the advances in skiing technology such as ski lifts and electronic passes. Five Kilometers from Morzine is its satellite town Avorias. The first purpose built ski park in France was built in Avorias  in 1964 and offers skiers to Morzine  almost guaranteed snow.

Despite its size Morzine has not lost its charm as a traditional alpine village with a delightful Savoyard atmosphere.

 Morzine operates as a 'state of the art' ski resort, welcoming visitors with a superb range of après-ski. As well as restaurants, nightclubs, bars, shops and the local market, there are, snow scooters, ice skating and national league ice hockey matches, husky rides, cinemas, sleigh rides, swimming pools and floodlit skiing.

Being close to Lake Geneva and the city of Geneva the area is rich in historical interest and the towns of Evian, Chamonix, Annecy and Montreux are all within easy driving distance.

The town itself is not just a winter resort but has all the features of an all year round town. Amenities include swimming pools, tennis courts, restaurants bars and a social itinerary which would be the envy  of many much larger towns. 

Morzine has hosted world class cycling events including the world downhill mountain biking championships and the Tour de France

In the summer there are over 500 km of sign posted mountain biking routes which range from the  serious minded to the most docile of family runs.
