About Morzine
Morzine is a traditional, year-round, Alpine resort that is also a real town with a great atmosphere. It offers authentic Savoyard charm whilst being in the heart of the Portes du Soleil ski area with easy access to the whole region including Les Gets and Avoriaz.
Sprawled along both sides of a river gorge, the resort of Morzine looks beautiful and charming both in the winter and the summer months.
Although there is plenty of apres-ski, Morzine is very much a family resort with a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere.
Its location makes it easily accessible by car and it is only an hour’s drive from Geneva. Indeed, a car is very useful in Morzine to reach the quieter lifts, though not essential as there is a good local bus service.
Our Morzine apartments are centrally located for access to all the town's amenities and close to the lifts for those wanting to ski Morzine and the Portes du Soleil.
