About Morzine
Morzine is a bustling little Alpine town full of Savoyarde charm and more than enough shops, cafe's, bars and restaurants to keep you occupied all week long. In winter the town bursts into life with all kinds of activities to get involved in from perusing the weekly market to cheering on the Morzine Penguins ice hockey team. If you like your après ski you'll be very happy here with a great variety of parties to finish off your day. Choose from live music and happy hours to more sophisticated wine bars. The evening's fun doesn't have to stop there though. There are some legendary nights out to be had and a huge choice of places to eat for the staff's night off.
