Morzine Ski Holidays

Morzine is just on the French side of the Swiss/French border in the Rhone Alpes region of France. It is nestled in the Portes du Soleil ski area, which spans both France and Switzerland and links 12 resorts including Les Gets, Avoriaz and Montriond, offering over 600km of ski runs.

Although the village of Morzine is situated at a relatively low altitude of 1,000m, the ski area itself is high, with an extensive lift system that allows you to reach the Chamossière ski area in Morzine at 1,800m and Avoriaz at 2,466m.

Morzine village has wide nursery slopes which are ideal for beginners. It is linked to the vast Portes du Soleil ski area, which offers over 650km of pistes – a lot of variety for people who are new to skiing.

Morzine offers great skiing throughout the season due to its access to the expansive Portes du Soleil ski area. January is often quieter, but it has optimal snow conditions with regular snowfall. It is very popular during school holidays, so tends to be a bit busier in February. March brings longer days, good snow coverage, and warmer temperatures, making it the best time to ski for many. It is also generally quieter on the slopes, meaning less time spent queuing for lifts and more time enjoying the action.

Morzine is a great all-rounder for families. With a transfer of just 1 hour and 15 minutes, it is easily accessible from Geneva. There are numerous ski schools that offer excellent lessons for skiers of all abilities. If this sounds like something you’d like to explore, be sure to book your ski lessons in advance to ensure you secure your space.

Morzine is home to many fun activities both on and off the slopes. Ice hockey, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing are always popular, alongside paragliding and sledding. If you prefer more relaxed pursuits, there is a cinema, as well as plenty of spas and pools to enjoy. Additionally, a weekly market offers memorabilia and gifts to take back home.
