Morzine/Avoriaz is in the heart of the Portes du Soleil region, which has 650 kms of marked piste for downhill skiing and snowboarding, with 243 kms of cross country skiing tracks. The area connects 12 resorts in France and Switzerland and is considered the largest linked ski area in the world. With 204 ski lifts and 632 snow cannons, the area's snow management and uplift capability has improved enormously over the last few years. From our central position, the Morzine, Les Gets and Avoriaz sectors are easily accessible.
The resort normally opens mid December unless we have good early snow, until the end of April. There are pistes for all abilities, from first timers to experienced skiers. Boarders will find some excellent snow parks, with a half pipe in Avoriaz, the highest resort in the area at 1800 meters. Night skiing is also available on the Pleney slope in Morzine along with the weekly history of skiing show and a torchlight descent by the French ski instructors.
Summer in the French Alps is a beautiful time of year with a variety of activities available.
Enjoy the lovely mountain scenery whilst walking, road cycling, mountain biking, paragliding or horse riding.
Relax on the banks of the local lakes, or by the Olympic size swimming pool in Morzine.
There are lots of tennis courts, a skate park, the luge d'ete (toboggan run), golf courses, 3 adventure parks (rope climbing & flying foxes through the tree tops), 2 quad bike circuits, and for the daring, bungy jumping from the Nyon cable car and flying the unique 'Fantasticable'. On the river Dranse there is white water rafting, canoeing, and other methods of running the rapids.
We can custom build small group holidays for painting groups, photographic groups, walkers, golfers and road cyclists, using our minibus to reach the best locations.
