Morzine is an ideal choice for a family ski holiday.
Located in the heart of the French-Swiss area of Portes du Soleil, the ski resort of Morzine is perfect not only for beginners, but also for expert skiers, children and adults. While the large Portes du Soleil ski area offers a huge range of varied terrain to experienced skiers, the slopes in the Morzine-Les Gets sector are ideal for families and intermediate skiers. For those who are looking for the steepest black runs in the Alps, head straight to the Chamossière black run or the famous “Swiss wall”.
The Portes du Soleil ski area offers a unique diversity of landscapes. There are 600 kilometres of slopes, served by 208 ski lifts and 400 km2 of snow-covered playground. If you ski 5 to 6 hours per day, you will probably need a fortnight to discover the entire ski area: can you believe it?
This French-Swiss area is a great place to learn how to ski but is also the perfect playground for ski enthusiasts. The Portes du Soleil ski area abolishes the borders between valleys and countries, connecting twelve French and Swiss resorts located between Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva: Morzine, Avoriaz, Châtel, Les Gets, Montriond, La Chapelle-d'Abondance, Abondance and Saint- Jean-d'Aulps in France and Champéry, Val-d'Illiez-Les Crosets-Champoussin, Torgon and Morgins in Switzerland.
You will find in the Portes du Soleil area a great diversity of landscapes for ultra-varied skiing experiences. From wide open slopes to beautiful tree runs winding through the forests; gentle beginner slopes with magic carpet lifts to steep unpisted black runs; fun zones for kids to patrolled free ride areas for off-piste aficionados. And not forgetting real welcoming villages to ski down to at the end of the day.
