Winter in Morzine

Everything you need to know about winter in Morzine

A winter holiday in Morzine offers the best of both worlds. You have access to one of Europe's largest ski areas, while staying in a traditional alpine village that still feels welcoming and relaxed.

It's a destination that works just as well for families, groups of friends, couples, and first-time visitors, with plenty happening on and off the slopes throughout the season. If you're looking for a ski holiday that combines great skiing with a genuine village atmosphere, Morzine is hard to beat.

One of the best things about staying in Morzine is how simple it is to get around.

One of the things guests love most about Morzine is how simple everything is. The village is easy to explore on foot, with restaurants, cafés, shops and ski hire all close together. A free ski bus runs regularly throughout the resort, connecting the lifts and surrounding areas, so there's rarely any need for a car once you've arrived.

Geneva Airport is only around 90 minutes away, making Morzine one of the most accessible ski resorts in the Alps. Many of our chalets are within walking distance of the lifts, shops, restaurants, and ski schools, while the free ski bus makes travelling around the resort easy if you don't have a car.

Over 600km of skiing and snowboarding

The Portes du Soleil is one of the largest linked ski areas in the world, with over 600km of pistes stretching across France and Switzerland. Gentle nursery slopes, excellent ski schools, scenic cruising runs and more challenging terrain mean there's something for every level of skier and snowboarder.

Many of our catered and self-catered chalets in Morzine are within walking distance of the lifts or just a short ride on the free ski bus, making it easy to get on the mountain each morning.

There's more to Morzine than Skiing

You don't need to spend every day skiing to enjoy winter in Morzine. Spend a morning browsing the independent shops, discovering welcoming cafés, book an afternoon at the spa, or enjoy lunch on a sunny terrace overlooking the mountains.

As the lifts close, the village comes alive with lively bars, family-run restaurants and a relaxed après scene that suits every kind of holiday. It's one of the reasons Morzine works so well for families and mixed groups, where everyone enjoys the trip in their own way.
