      Village Life

      Morzine is famed for its skiing, being one of the flagship resorts in the largest skiing destination on earth; the Portes du Soleil.

      During the winter, the village enjoys a backdrop straight from a picture postcard. Think ‘chocolate box chalets and treelines sprinkled with icing sugar’, and you’re in the right ballpark. When the snow disappears, in the spring and summer months, you’re left with pristine greenery — covering the hillsides and surrounding land — that’s ripe for exploring. Over recent years, Morzine has become the Mecca for mountain biking in the Alps. But, if you’re not out just to get your adrenaline fix, Morzine is also the ideal place to unwind, clear your head and hit the reset button.

      The friendly locals and idyllic scenery combine to give Morzine a uniquely relaxed vibe. Whether you want to join the action on the slopes or just find a café to plug in, enjoy a coffee and soak in the atmosphere, Morzine is an Alpine base that simply lets you do you.  

      Map of Morzine

      Restaurants

      Morzine is the ideal location to sample all things Savoyard; the staple diet of the Alps for generations, mainly consisting of an infusion of bread and cheese, potatoes and cheese, or wine and cheese. Over recent years, if all that cheese sounds a bit too heavy, Morzine has also begun to specialise in healthier vegan and vegetarian options. 

      Morzine restaurants can be broken into two categories; Village Restaurants, dotted throughout the village’s streets, and Mountain Restaurants, aimed at skiers and mountain-bikers looking for a place to dine after/during a day on the slopes.
