Morzine

The largest linked ski area in Europe

Morzine-Avoriaz is part of the Portes du Soleil - the largest linked ski area in Europe. It covers 12 ski resorts (all on the same lift pass) and you can tour around them all in a day, but get ready for an adventure as you’ll cover 78 Kms of piste. Aside from being one of the prettiest resorts in the Alps, it’s also one of the liveliest and has year-round appeal with more than 100 cafes, bars, restaurants and apres-ski hideouts with some of the best gastro in the Alps. It has lots of charm and chalet-style architecture with no highrise blocks, so you’ll love the feel of it.

It offers a huge range of skiing spanning over into Switzerland; and with so many pistes, it’s a resort that will keep turning up undiscovered runs the whole week long! It’s also the most northern resort in the French Alps - and is directly linked with Avoriaz - thus enjoying an excellent snow record for a comparatively moderate altitude. In other words, you don't need to be so high to get good snow!

There’s also heaps to do off the slopes, so if you’re a non-skier or up for some alternative activities, then try snowshoe walks on dedicated trails, mountain bike rides (even in winter), ice diving, swimming, climbing, parapenting, husky rides, devil karts, skidoos and much more.

And just fifty miles from Geneva, Morzine-Avoriaz is so easily accessible it has become a favourite from the UK.
