About Morzine

A real town in the Portes du Soleil, lively all year

Morzine is a traditional market town rather than a purpose-built resort, with chalets, shops and restaurants that stay open beyond the ski season. Its lifts link to Avoriaz and the wider Portes du Soleil. It suits families and mixed groups who want a town around them after skiing.
