Health And Beauty In Morzine
Visiting the mountains is not just about adrenaline fuelled descents, followed by booze fuelled dancing on tables. Sometimes you just have to stop and chill out, or simply take some time to be good to yourself. Morzine has lots of ways to do this, from sports massages, spa days and pamper sessions. In this post we go through all of our recommended options for health and beauty in Morzine.
In Morzine
Parc des Dérêches
The Parc des Dérêches is Morzine's swimming pool and leisure complex, situated in the dereche, underneath the Super Morzine bridge.
It's open during the summer and winter months and is a great place to relax after skiing and snowboarding, or to escape to on a bad weather day!
The outdoor pool is open in the summer and has a huge outdoor terrace with sun loungers and grassy areas to chill out on. The indoor pool is open in winter and summer and has two kiddie splash pools.
The complex also has a sauna and steam room area, which is perfect for some relaxation time. A visit to the spa is reasonably priced, and during the summer season is free with the multi-pass.
You can check the opening times for Morzine's pool and spa on the Parc des Dérêches website.
