Activities - air
Bring the family to Morzine and live a little more adventurously this summer – high in the sky! We believe there is no better way to see the truly breathtaking alpine views over Morzine and the surrounding French Alps than from the air – so why not try an awe-inspiring ‘air’ activity on your Simply Morzine summer holiday?
Our family alpine adventure holidays offer something for everyone - including those who like big heights and spine-tingling thrills! Soar like an eagle over the French Alps during a tandem paraglide, or, fly superman-style as you whizz across a huge zip wire between mountain peaks, speeding up to 100 km/h - at a height of nearly 250 metres... Yikes!
And a little closer to the ground, find your inner Tarzan during a tree top adventure. Deep in the forests around Morzine are several brilliant adventure parks – complete with high ropes, ladders, bridges, swings, zip lines and more.
