Extensive
skiing, relaxed atmosphere and attractive surroundings. |
Morzine
is situated in the heart of the vast "Portes du Soleil" ski area which
covers 13 resorts, 6 in Switzerland and 7 in France.
Morzine is
a market town and has all the appeal of an old-style chalet resort set
in a charming wooden surrounding.
High above
Morzine's village square, the glistening peaks lure skiers to the "Portes
du Soleil" open bowls, winding runs, steep chutes, dark forests and
gentle valleys, which connect Morzine to such mountain hamlets such as
Les Gets and Chatel in France and Les Crosets, Champoussin and Morgins
in Switzerland. |
|
With 228
lifts serving 450 miles of groomed runs, you can ski from early
morning to late afternoon and never ride the same lift or encounter
the same run twice. |
