'THE ALPS'

Morzine is an excellent base from which to explore the Haute-Savoie region of France and the Valais region of Switzerland.

The French side of Lake Geneva, with its Mediterranean climate, beaches, and spa towns of Thonon and Evian is only 35 minutes away. The charming medieval walled town of Yvoire also makes a highly worthwhile visit.

 

 

The Swiss side, known as the Swiss Riviera, encompasses Geneva, Lausanne, Vevey, Nyon and Montreux. The paddle steamers that encircle and cross the lake are an ideal way to explore and take in its clear waters and serene beauty.

Annecy, known as the ‘Venice of the Alps’, is about one and a half hours away with its beautiful lake and old town possessing lovely shops, cafés, canals and bridges.

Chamonix-Mont Blanc is a little over one hour away. The world's highest cable car ride takes you to the top of the Aiguille du Midi from where you can enjoy spectacular views. A funicular railway takes you over an incredible glacier, the Mer de Glace (Sea of Ice).

The stunning national park of Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval near Samoëns is only 45 minutes away.

 

 

The beautiful Italian Aosta Valley is only one and a half hours away via the Mont Blanc tunnel.

There are many places to visit in the Portes du Soleil, all within half an hour of Morzine, such as:

 

The ancient mountain goat village of Les Linderets.
The old abbey ruins at St-Jean-d'Aulps.
The well-preserved abbey at Abondance.
The spectacular Devil’s Bridge Gorge.
Museums, chateaux, cheese dairies, vineyards and slate mines
