Morzine Stats
While the charming alpine atmosphere will make you feel like you've stepped into a traditional winter wonderland, you'll find that Morzine is a contemporary resort with all mod-cons. The vast range of shops, restaurants, pubs, clubs and off-slope activities pretty much have everything for everyone. There's more to do on and off the slope than you can shake a ski pole at, including lots of activities for non-skiers, and a lively après ski scene.
Morzine is highly acclaimed as a family ski resort. The town has been stamped with the prestigious Famille Plus label by the French Ministry of Tourism. Kids are welcomed enthusiastically with child-friendly establishments and a great range of free activities, including children's entertainment and snow fun for all the family. Childcare services are fantastic - ski schools are known for their excellent children's lessons and for a charming finishing touch, there's a merry-go-round.
Another family-friendly aspect to the resort is the convenience of its location - only a 75-minute drive from Geneva makes it perfect for those who want to avoid a lengthy transfer. Morzine's attractive positioning doesn't stop here: the area lies in the very centre of the Portes du Soleil's 12 interconnected resorts which cover both the French and Swiss Alps. You can either ski with the local pass, which gives access to 120km pistes in the Morzine-Les Gets area, or get a Portes du Soleil lift pass covering 650km of vast and varied terrain including around 30 snow park, boardercross and ski-cross areas. This area pass covers all 12 resorts: Morzine-Avoriaz, Les Gets, Abondance, La Chapelle d'Abondance, Châtel, Montriond and St Jean d'Aulps in France and Champéry, Torgon, Morgins and Val d'Illiez-Champoussin-Les Crosets in Switzerland.
