Ski / Boarding, En Hiver (Winter)

The Portes du Soleil Ski domain is reputed to be the largest linked ski area in the world with 650km of pisted ski runs, not including the off piste activities. Morzine is a traditional Savoyard town and is situated at the heart of the Portes du Soleil area at the end of the Vallee d'Aulps just 55kms from Geneva Airport (1 hour by car), and 35km from Lac Leman (Lake Geneva) with the resorts of Thonon les Bains and Evian (famous for its spa and spring water). The town itself has all the usual ski facilities of shops to cater for every whim of the dedicated ski/boarder. Plenty of superb restaurants catering for simple mountain food and in typical French fashion to the more sophisticated a la Carte cuisine. There are of course many lively bars and several clubs to keep those Apres Skiers happy. There is ample supermarket shopping in the main town and there are numerous other facilities for the non ski/boarders, such as a full size swimming pool, ice skating rink, fitness gym etc.

Summer activities 'En ete'

Whilst not an obvious choice for a summer break the Alps offer a superb range of activities not available in the 'Costas'. For those who walk or hike, the area is a dream come true. There are many marked routes for the serious hikers, those less adventurous can take the guided tours available locally. Morzine is a major centre for downhill mountain bikers and in the summer the ski lifts are open for bikers and the World Championships take place in Les Gets in September. Don't forget the white water rafting, parascending canoeing etc. For those in need of retail derived therapy there is a sophisticated shopping area in the beautiful spa town of Evian, just 30 minutes drive down the Vallee d'Aulps, great shops & boutiques, not mention numerous bars & restaurants. For those seeking the next stage of shopping experience, Geneva is a must.
