The Village of Goats is a small mountain hamlet near to Lac Montriond and is literally over-run with goats. They amble up and down the main street, regulate the traffic, nose in on your ice cream (they are not shy!) and generally provide a lot of laughter and INSTA material. Around fifty goats pace up and down the streets, looking for affection. The shops sell little paper bags filled with food made for goats and also souvenirs and refreshments for visitors.

The village makes for a great lunch or coffee stop during a day out on two wheels or two feet and our Active Team will give you an itinerary to suit your fitness, which will utilise a gondola lift and some walking or biking at altitude, so be sure to take your (free) lift pass with you. After visiting the village you can continue  down to Lac Montriond for some wild swimming or paddleboarding/kayaking before heading back to Morzine on the free bus.

This gorgeous alpine lake is located about 15 mins drive from the centre of Morzine, or it’s a lovely walk or cycle to the lake from Morzine centre: along the river and up through the forest and valley. Ask our Reps for the Mines D’Or Route Card. Eat at the Mines d'Or restaurant, go hiking at the Col de Cou near the Swiss border or try any number of other great walking itineraries from this lake.
