Getting high in the Alps
Morzine is a cracking little hideaway nestled at the foot of the French Alps and ideal for both the novice and expert skier. Book a chalet, says Brian Canty, and enjoy the slide.
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.
