Location

Morzine is easily accessed by road, rail and air transport. The nearest airport is Geneva, which is about an hour away by car. There is also a frequent bus service during the winter months and bookable minibus transfer services. It is also easy to access the area via Chambery & Grenoble airport. The motorway (A40) is just 25 minutes down the mountain, thus avoiding those winding queues that can build up to other ski resorts!

Trains  come directly from Paris into Thonon on lake Geneva where a local bus service connects to Morzine during the winter.

Morzine is a lively village which very much retains its alpine charm both in winter and summer. There are all sorts of facilities, bars, restaurants, a large sports centre which has a large indoor ice rink for skating and for watching ice hockey matches throughout the year.

There is a large open air swimming complex for the summer months, and an indoor pool for the winter  (don’t forget your speedos as you are not allowed to swim in swimming shorts!).

Les Gets (5 minutes by car) is a smaller alternative village offering another place for promenading  pedestrianised streets in the early evening , and floodlit sledging and skating during the winter.

For a change from the mountains, a 40 minute scenic drive takes you down to the pretty towns and beaches at Evian and Thonon-Les-Bains on Lake Geneva.
