If you are looking for a self catered chalet, Chalet du Lac in Morzine is a real find. It's privately owned. Deep sofas, a log burning stove and only 5 minutes walk to the lifts - aaaah winter bliss. find out availability and owner details at Chalet Rentals Direct website
 For luxury right in the heart of Morzine look no further than Nebraska Lodge. It sleeps 8 persons and comes with it's own private cinema!!! We also love the jacuzzi and sauna and curling up with a good book in front of the fire. More details at Alpine Answers. |

Cross country = 95km of trails
Beginners = good slopes to learn on and nursery slopes near the village
Intermediates = good choice of all levels of piste to ski on
Advanced = good blacks and hire yourself a guide to explore the off piste
Overall Morzine is an excellent place to base yourself, ther is more than enough skiing for all of our abilities and the massive Porte Du Soleil is just on the doorstep. |
