Morzine ski resort is situated in the French Alps, right near the border with Switzerland. Historically a rural market town, the village has stayed true to its Savoyard roots, with wooden chalets and carved balconies maintaining that authentic Alpine feel. It’s surrounded by mountains and forests, so you get a sense of tradition, outdoor adventure, and sustainability. Now, Morzine is the largest town in the Portes du Soleil, a huge ski area spanning France and Switzerland, with over 600 km of slopes in winter that transform into mountain biking and hiking trails in summer. Despite its growth, Morzine remains committed to sustainability. It promotes eco-friendly transport, family-friendly environmental activities and features pedestrian zones to ensure a low-impact alpine experience.
Morzine is at the heart of the Portes du Soleil, which has 600 km of slopes across France and Switzerland. The ski terrain is incredibly varied, with wide, gentle runs for beginners, rolling reds for intermediates, and some steep descents for advanced skiers. For those just starting out, the Pléney area has covered magic carpet lifts and easy beginner slopes. The Super Morzine gondola connects directly to Avoriaz, where you’ll find higher-altitude, snow-sure pistes. Freeride enthusiasts have plenty of off-piste options, especially in Les Hauts Forts and the Vallee de la Manche. If you’re into ski touring, Morzine also offers marked trails with stunning views of Mont Blanc.
Morzine’s après-ski scene is all about laid-back fun with a bit of everything, whether you’re up for a lively party or a relaxed drink by the fire. The village is packed with bars and pubs, from classic après-ski spots with live music and flowing beer to stylish cocktail lounges serving up craft drinks and local wines. Unlike some resorts with a high-energy, all-night clubbing vibe, Morzine keeps things varied and welcoming. You can start your evening with a vin chaud or craft beer at a mountain bar, then move on to somewhere with DJ sets and a lively crowd. Many places keep the music going late into the night, but there are just as many quiet corners for those who prefer more of a chilled-out atmosphere. If you’re after something different, night-time sledding under the stars is an exciting way to wrap up the day.
