Walking is a revitalising activity when you are in the pure mountain air. In Morzine, there are plenty of walks and hikes suited to all levels of ability.
Dérêches park
If you’re a beginner, we recommend starting with easy walks along footpaths that are fairly flat. From the centre of the village, there is a 4.5 km loop trail through Dérêches Park alongside the river Dranse. This is a haven of greenery right in the centre of the village. Along the way, you can stop off at the children’s playground or the horse riding centre. The children will most certainly want to stroke the horses and ponies there.

The Chemin du Renard (fox trail)
Why not go for a walk along the fox trail which is again on the banks of the river Dranse, but this time you’ll be walking towards Nyon. This is a nature walk that departs from the centre of the village and then runs alongside the river Dranse via the old footpath up to the Nyon pastures.
If you want to venture further away from the village, you can head towards the ridges of Le Pléney and Super Morzine. On these walks, you’ll be following marked footpaths with great sun exposure and some stunning views across the valley and surrounding peaks.
