Morzine is one of the most northerly of the French Alpine resorts and enjoys panoramic views of the mountains as well as modern ski facilities and a whole host of chalets, hotels and restaurants. 

Morzine terrain varies from long, wide tree-lined slopes in Morzine itself, a snow park in Avoriaz and more challenging slopes situated in Mont Cherry and Chamossiere.

Tour de France:

The Tour de France first entered Morzine in 1975 and has returned numerous times since. Thanks to the proximity of Morzine to the infamously steep Col de Joux-Plane climb, we have been lucky enough to host a number of Tour de France stage finishes. We have had the Tour de France visit Morzine 5 times in the last 20 years and each time it visits it brings a fantastic atmosphere and excitement to the town. We really recommend being here next time it arrives!
