Dérêches Park, a vast green haven in the heart of Morzine
Take the time to stroll along the banks of the river Dranse in the heart of the Dérêches Park. This itinerary can be covered partially or in its entirety from different points along the 4.5 km loop. A great classic!
The Ridges of Le Pléney and Super Morzine
Accessible via the lifts, the Ridges of Pléney on one side of the village and those of Super Morzine on the other, invite you to take to the waymarked footpaths for a walk in the sun to some beautiful viewpoints over the valley and surrounding peaks. After taking the Super Morzine gondola lift and the Zore chairlift, you’ll find yourself on the other side of the mountain heading towards the Croix des Combes Pass on a forest track that immerses you in the wilderness between Morzine and Avoriaz. You’ll also particularly appreciate this chance to stop for a delicious break at a mountain restaurant or to relax on a sunny terrace.
