Getting high in the Alps

SITUATED mid-way between Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva in the heart of the Portes du Soleil, Morzine is the gateway to a marvellous winter playground of 650km of ski-slopes.

In summer, the place heaves with trekkers and mountain-bikers. But from November to March, the area is covered in a thick blanket of powdery snow, making it the perfect getaway for your winter ski holiday.

Either for a few days, or a longer holiday, both idlers and fans of the outdoors will find everything they need for a real break with family or friends.
