Plenty of challenging pistes for experts, including the infamous Swiss Wall and great off-piste, plus diverse freestyle opportunities in 34 snowparks, cross and freeride zones. The area boasts a vast array of  both high mountain slopes with spectacular panoramic views and wooded tree runs, to be enjoyed snow or shine.  

Sector Morzine - Les Gets (Morzine ski pass) 48 ski lifts and 69 slopes (9 black, 28 red, 29 blue, 3 green) accessed from the Pleney lift in town, the slopes above Morzine are mainly wooded therefore a good choice on snowy days when visibility is poor.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

Unlike many resorts, Morzine offers a plethora of activities for both skiers and non-skiers alike. It is a traditional alpine town with tons of character and vibrant culture, you wouldn't find in a purpose built ski station. The quaint streets are lined with boutiques, gift stores, cafes, great food shops specialising in local produce, a choice of bars and fine dining restaurants. Keep active at the gym, swimming pool centre and ice rink, or enjoy a relaxing spa day. Sway to your favourite tunes, from intimate jazz concerts to bouncing DnB gigs at apres. Visit our modern cinema or one of the multiple art galleries. There's something for all tastes.

Non-skiers will find plenty to do that does not involve the snow. Morzine is a 30-minute walk from Chalet Azalee along a pretty woodland riverside path. If you don't fancy a walk, we can drop you in town when we take the skiers to the lifts. There is also a free bus service from Montriond running every hour.
