Cafes and restaurants are plentiful, and all within easy walking distance from the chalet. The well frequented bars and discos make Morzine a lively place for apres ski entertainment. Catering can be arranged in the winter season (breakfast, afternoon, tea and 3 course evening meal) for 6 nights a week.
Morzine is suitable for skiers of all abilities from a World Cup course to gentle nursery slopes and cross country skiing. For the non-skier there are well maintained paths and some organised trips using snowshoes.
In summer the welcoming locals provide entertainment several times a week, including fireworks, concerts, demonstrations of local craft, traditional dancing and street entertainment. The lifts work during the day in July and August and can carry mountain bikes, so you can either walk or cycle back down the mountainside, enjoying the views and the alpine flowers.
Ski:
Morzine is at an altitude of 1000 metres adjacent to the 1800 metre Portes du Soleil skiing area. There are 650km of pistes interconnecting 12 skiing resorts in France and Switzerland (209 ski lifts and 289 slopes). The usual length of the skiing season is from approximately 15th December to 25th April, but heavy snowfalls usually start at the end of December. The area is suitable for skiers of all abilities with gentle nursery slopes towards Pleney and Avoriaz to the World Cup downhill course and the notorious Swiss Wall piste into Switzerland.
In addition to being 50 metres from the Super Morzine lift, a mini train can be caught 50 metres from the chalet to the Pleney lift and the ski school, which are about 250 metres away. Transfers can be arranged to and from Geneva airport. Paragliding and skating are available, and there are night guided toboggan or snowmobile rides and snowshoe walks.
