Morzine / Avoriaz

Morzine is a traditional picture postcard alpine village, located right at the heart of the massive Portes du Soleil ski area, 650 kms of pistes, and 220 lifts make it one of the largest ski areas in the world. Set against forested mountainsides it has a special atmosphere associated with alpine winter holidays. In Morzine you forget the hustle and bustle and rediscover a quiet pace of life. Architecture that has retained its traditional charm, no concrete or imitation wood is used, simply solid chalets built of stone, slate and pine, materials that are loyal to the farms and chalets of the mountains of the past. Morzine has a wealth of facilities; indoor ice skating, indoor swimming pool, fitness centre sauna, Jacuzzi and cinemas. In addition to a diverse range of shops, there are numerous bars and restaurants as well as nightclubs for those of you with any energy left after a day's skiing!
