About Morzine

Morzine sits at the heart of the Portes du Soleil, one of the world's largest ski areas, connecting twelve resorts on both sides of the Swiss-French border, about an hour's drive from Geneva, with around 600 km of pistes and roughly 200 lifts.

In the summer, Morzine offers the perfect base for walkers, trail runners, road bikers, and mountain bikers: considered a mountain bike 'mecca', it offers 55 cross-border trail-running routes to explore.

Whilst there is plenty to do in Morzine itself, there's also a whole host of things to do within an hour or two's drive that can be worth making the trip - especially if you are a return visitor to the region.

The shoulder seasons are also worth considering if you are looking for peace and tranquillity. As the snow melts, spring provides a delightful calm for walkers as the mountain flowers come out across the pastures, whilst autumn is a rainbow of colour as the trees turn red and then yellow. It is simply stunning.
