ALPINE WINTER
WINTER IN MORZINE
From legendary cycling climbs and mountain trails to lakeside afternoons and long lunches in the sunshine, discover the Alps at their most inviting.
WINTER
IN THE PORTES DU SOLEIL
Morzine is not your average ski resort ...
It's a year-round town, steeped in history, sitting high above Lake Geneva at 1000m. It offers superb restaurants, bars, shops and plenty of activities and entertainment for all ages.
Directly above Morzine is Avoriaz at 1800m with one of the best snow records in France and an enormous variety of terrain.
Both resorts sit centrally within the vast Portes du Soleil ski area, with reliable skiing right through the season and a full range of piste for beginners and intermediates; extensive tree-skiing and off-piste for the more experienced.
MORZINE & THE PORTES DU SOLEIL
Morzine is central to the Portes du Soleil, on the French-Swiss border, and the best place to access this vast ski domain.
Technically one of the largest ski areas in the world, the Portes du Soleil has a reputation for exhaustively varied terrain, spectacular scenery and plentiful powder.
SNOW-SURE
Avoriaz sits high at 1,800m and is one of the snowiest resorts in the Alps, giving you excellent snow conditions throughout the season — while Morzine provides a beautiful, traditional base below.
HIGH ALTITUDE
With skiing reaching 2,466m at Les Hauts-Forts, the Portes du Soleil offers plenty of high-altitude terrain and reliable conditions, particularly in Avoriaz and the upper mountain.
INCREDIBLE VARIETY
With around 600km of pistes across 12 resorts in France and Switzerland, there’s something for every ability — from wide, gentle pistes and family-friendly runs to challenging blacks, tree-lined skiing and extensive off-piste terrain.
12 CONNECTED SKI RESORTS
Morzine and Avoriaz are just two of twelve distinct towns that sit within the huge inter-connected area. From your base in Morzine, you will have easy access to Les Gets and Chatel in France or Champéry and Morgins in Switzerland.
Morzine has become one of the prime destinations for British and European skiers because of its easy access from Geneva (only 1hr 15min transfer time), its modest prices and the fact that it offers something for everyone; skiers and non-skiers alike.

MORE WAYS TO ENJOY WINTER
Skiing may well be the main attraction but it's far from the whole story. Morzine is one of the most well loved ski resorts for non-skiers because of its extensive range of activities and restaurants.
