Morzine

Combining traditional Alpine charm with access to one of the largest linked ski areas in the world, Morzine is a favourite destination for luxury ski holidays. At just over an hour from Geneva Airport, Morzine is particularly popular with families and groups seeking a convenient escape without compromising on skiing, accommodation or atmosphere.

Skiing in Morzine
Morzine forms part of the vast Portes du Soleil ski area, giving skiers access to more than 600km of pistes spanning France and Switzerland. The local slopes shared with neighbouring Les Gets are renowned for their scenic woodland runs and gentle cruisers, making them ideal for beginners and intermediate skiers. More experienced skiers will enjoy the steeper terrain around Nyon, while those looking for higher altitude skiing can easily reach Avoriaz, where slopes climb to 2,466m. With reliable snow conditions, extensive snowmaking, nine snow parks and legendary descents such as the Swiss Wall, the region offers endless variety throughout the winter.

Village and Lifestyle
Set alongside the Dranse River, Morzine has retained the character of a traditional Alpine village while offering all the facilities expected from a leading ski resort. Independent boutiques, welcoming cafés and a wide selection of restaurants create a lively yet relaxed atmosphere, making it as enjoyable away from the slopes as it is on them. For non-skiers, there's plenty to experience too, including scenic helicopter flights, snowshoeing, ice skating, horse-drawn carriage rides and paragliding. Many luxury chalets also feature private wellness facilities such as hot tubs, saunas and spa areas, providing the perfect place to unwind after a day outdoors.

Dining & Après Ski
Dining in Morzine ranges from relaxed mountain eateries to sophisticated restaurants showcasing regional cuisine. Traditional Savoyard specialities are a highlight, with La Ferme de la Fruitière a popular choice for authentic fondue, while La Chaudanne pairs an impressive wine selection with classic French cooking in an intimate setting. The resort's après ski scene is equally varied. Enjoy lively afternoons at Le Tremplin, located beside the Pleney gondola, or opt for a more laid back evening with a glass of wine at Coup de Coeur in the heart of the village. From buzzing slopeside terraces to elegant cocktail bars, Morzine caters to every style of après ski.
