Morzine lies below Avoriaz in the Portes du Soleil region, which boasts 650km of slopes, unfortunately Morzine is fairly low at 1000m and snow cover can be sparse at the start and end of the seasons. The runs are well suited to the learner and good schools ensure you are quickly on the gentler pistes.
Snowboarding is good with a park and boarding on all the pistes. There is plenty to do in the area apart from skiing and the village has a fine selection of shops, restaurants and bars.
There also is a bowling alley, well equipped sports centre and ice rink.
This is the perfect destination for the family who want to ski and do other things. , whilst on holiday. |

The Grand Hotel hosts the tourist office, and you can stay in the village to enjoy the Thursday guided tour which ends with a demonstration of local cheese making.
