Morzine in Winter
Since its first ski lift opened in 1934, Morzine has retained its original Haute Savoie character, giving the town an authentic historical feel with all the convenience of a modern day resort with cool bars, trendy shops and fabulous restaurants.
Morzine Avoriaz is in the heart of the Portes Du Soleil, acclaimed to be the largest linked ski area in the world with over 650 km of pistes.
Avoriaz is the highest resort at over 2400 metres ensuring great snow cover. Morzine is the perfect central location to the Portes Du Soleil providing a brilliant cross section of ski terrain, great for beginners but also challenging for experts and intermediates.
Morzine Avoriaz often gets better snow than other higher French resorts due to its close proximity to Mont Blanc and northern situation in the Alps. The slopes tend to keep their snow for longer as many are north facing and retain great base layers all season. In addition there is the peace of mind that pistes are rigorously maintained, not forgetting the use of approximately 520 snow cannons.
Traditional après is centred around a cluster of bars, boasting the infamous Mutzig Old Strong Lager! In the evening the pace of life increases with a wide variety of bars and pubs staying open until the early hours in the morning
Morzine is really easy to access from the UK. The nearest airport is Geneva, less than a 90 minutes transfer away. Morzine is also the easiest French ski resort to drive to from the UK – approximately 9 hours from Calais. Morzine is THE ideal destination for people who want to spend more time on the mountain and less time travelling!
All More Mountain Luxury Chalets in Morzine are less than a 5 minute walk to the town centre where the shops, bars and restaurants are a plenty. Our chalets and Apartments are within a stones throw of a number of free ski shuttle bus stops, which circulate Morzine Avoriaz & Pleney every 20 minutes.
Other Winter Activities in Morzine
If you fancy taking time away from the slopes there are plenty of other activities in and around the town to keep you entertained… plus there is always the abundance of incredible mountain restaurants that even non-skiers can reach easily via the pedestrian friendly Gondolas and Telecabines which are all accessible via the free ski bus.
There is also a new swimming pool & spa which has just opened to keep the non ski-ers and kiddies happy! The centre is open every week day with a late close on Wednesdays and in the afternoons on Saturdays and Sundays. The ‘Espace Aquatic‘ can be found next to the outdoor pool under the Super Morzine bridge at the Palais Du Sport.
