Are you planning a summer holiday in the mountains and you’d like to stay in Morzine? Good choice because we’ve got plenty of enjoyable activities for you to choose from!
After an amazing walk in the Portes du Soleil or some sunbathing on a deck chair with your favourite drink in your hand, there’s nothing better than an activity in the white waters or mountain lakes to cool off. Morzine is literally bursting with activities like this for all ages, for a sporty yet relaxing holiday, whether you’re with family or friends. The Alps are well-known for activities in white waters and mountain lakes, so you can expect a highly enjoyable experience and action-packed and fun-filled days out.
An unmissable summer activity is swimming in Montriond lake
Montriond lake is the perfect place for a refreshing swim. It is in the town of Montriond, a mere stone’s throw from Morzine, and is the 3rd biggest lake in Haute-Savoie. Montriond lake is nestled up against the cliffs and you’ll be amazed by the colour of the water! You will instantly fall in love with this place! In the summer, families come here to swim in the small lake with facilities and a lifeguard, just next to the main one. Children will enjoy the play areas and activities near the lake.
If you’re feeling brave, you can also go swimming in the big lake but you should be aware that there is no lifeguard.
We also recommend taking the time to walk around the lake. The walk along the shores is flat and easy, and from the footpath you can admire the lake from all angles.
Relax at the pool complex in Morzine
We also recommend taking advantage of the facilities at the pool complex in Morzine in the centre of the village, at the entrance to Dérêches Park. The pool complex is big enough to accommodate no less than 3 indoor pools and 3 outdoor pools, with something for people of all ages, whether you’re feeling sporty or not. While some of you are enjoying the sun and lazing on the deck chairs around the main pool, others will be whizzing down the slide! And you could all meet up at the end of the day to play volleyball in the pool complex gardens.
How about trying the activities in white waters?
Fancy getting a rush of adrenaline? Set off on a canyoning outing with a qualified guide.
You’ll be walking down the mountain river, abseiling, jumping, whizzing down natural slides and passing under Nyon waterfall! This unmissable summer activity is suitable for anyone from the age of 13, and is particularly enjoyable on very hot days.
If you’ve already been canyoning and you’d like to try other adventures in the water, why not go rafting which is a truly hair-raising activity! Embark on an adventure on the river Dranse with an experienced guide who will supervise the activity and make sure it’s completely safe. This activity is suitable for everyone from the age of 8 and with capacity for 7 people per raft, it’s an ideal outing for families.
Still not exciting enough for you? In that case, come and try riverboarding (also known as hydrospeed)!
Equipped with a riverboard, fins and a high-performance wetsuit, get the full exciting river experience from the waters, with a guide. This activity is suitable from the age of 13 and is the ideal choice for a sporty holiday in Morzine.
Enjoy one of these outdoor activities to cool off on really hot days. Plenty of professionals organise activities in the white waters of Morzine all summer long. After a briefing on how to use the equipment and on the safety techniques, you’ll be ready to climb aboard your raft and set off on an adventure!
