For those looking for an alternative to mountain biking, e.g. families with young children or anyone not confident on a bike, we can suggest a leisurely mountain walk in Les Gets.

From Les Gets village we take the Mont Chéry gondola and chairlift to an altitude of 1800m. This is a gentle ramble through forest and meadows with time to pause at some breathtaking views, including a panorama of Mont Blanc on a clear day, and refreshment stop at Mont Caly.

We finish by the lake just above Les Gets with the aim of meeting up with the mountain bikers at lunchtime. You can relax and swim at the lake, or even tackle the superb adventure park. There are also pony rides for the little ones.

After lunch you can return to Morzine in our minibus or walk into the centre of Les Gets to explore the pretty village with its activity, archery and trampoline area (perfect for younger members of the family).

A bus service (‘Ballade Bus’) from the Gare Routiere will provide you with a free trip back to Morzine (with Multi Pass). N.B. Buses are only every 1.5 hours or so, therefore please do check the timetable in your accommodation or with your representative.

Approximately 4 miles / 1 hour 45 minutes total walking time.

An enjoyable introductory day’s mountain biking (VTT in French), designed for everyone who is very confident and well-balanced on a bike. With our fully-qualified local French guide, we take the Pleney cable car to a height of 1,600m. We spend the day exploring the Morzine / Les Gets area, using the ski lifts to gain altitude (although a little pedalling uphill may be required!) During the course of the morning, we may split into two groups: one taking a medium-level route, the other tackling more difficult terrain.

We will aim for the groups to meet by the Les Gets Lake and Adventure Park. This is a good place to relax for a picnic or snack bar lunch, not forgetting a refreshing swim in the lake!

There will be more action in the afternoon, followed by a well-earned refreshment stop and the descent back into Morzine.

Whichever routes we take, you will see some of the most beautiful scenery imaginable, including Mont-Blanc on a clear day. Downhill (most of the way!), challenging yet great fun and a very rewarding day.

Please note: The bikes provided are front-suspension, excellent quality and well maintained. Our guide has some full-suspension bikes, which are available if required for a small supplement (pay directly to guide).

NB:  The Mountain Bike Adventure usually runs simultaneously with our Les Gets walk.

As an alternative to eating at a restaurant we highly recommend a memorable evening high up in the mountains, enjoying a traditional Raclette and fantastic hospitality at a local family’s alpine chalet.

We will drive you from your accommodation up the Col du Joux Plan (a famous Tour de France route) to the chalet at la Rosta. After a short walk across alpine pasture land we are welcomed by the Rosset family, who treat us to a superb Savoyard mountain meal, soft drinks/wine and not forgetting their home-brewed eau-de-vie! On a clear evening there are stunning views, including over to Mont Blanc at sunset.

Once the evening draws to a close we take the short walk back to the minibus using head torches. You will be driven back to Morzine, so an excellent opportunity to relax, eat, drink and be merry over what is an unforgettable evening.

Unique to Simply Morzine, this is a fun and informative day’s walking above Morzine and Les Gets. Lunchtime is a highlight, with a traditionally home-cooked Savoyard Tartiflette (AMONGST THE BEST IN THE ALPS, washed down with copious amounts of wine and home-brewed eau-de-vie!) at a remote alpine chalet. This day is aimed at all the family and designed both as an enjoyable walk and as a discovery of the flora, fauna culture, cuisine of the local area.

Our guide Guillaume Rosset is passionate about the local Chablais region. The Rosset’s are an original local ‘Morzinois’ family and owners of our local ski shop Felix Ski. In winter Guillaume is an Ecole du Ski Français instructor and in summer a fully qualified walking and mountain bike guide.

In our minibuses we drive to the start of the walk at ‘Les Clares’ above the far-end of Les Gets. From here up to our alpine chalet at la Rosta there is a gradual ascent, along a remote forest path via la Chapelle de Jacquicourt.
At la Rosta we are welcomed to the family’s chalet d’alpage, where we will be treated to a traditional mountain meal.

After lunch we complete a circular route around the edge of the ski area to return to Morzine. The descent (or wobble back if you have been drinking the eau de vie) takes in a variety of terrain and alpine landscapes including alpine meadows, twisting forest paths, lakes and streams.

Approximately 9 miles / 4 hours 30 minutes total walking time.

With Franck our local guide, this is an introduction to the sensations of rock climbing, but without the technical difficulty and with the security of being permanently attached to special iron rails. Via Ferrata is in fact the Italian term given to climbing with fixed aids: wire ropes, pegs, ladders, rungs and bridges. You are equipped with a safety harness, helmet and safety rope. There are various routes for different levels of difficulty. It's more of a rock traverse, sometimes up to 200m above the ground at the highest point. Simply amazing!

N.B. rafting for younger children aged 8+ may also be available (children only; no adults).
This ‘Baptême’ descent depends on our rafting company’s guide availability and minimum numbers.
Must be able to swim 25 metres in light clothes and not be frightened of going underwater.

You will need to bring: Swimming gear ('Speedo' type trunks obligatory for pool!), towel, jumper/fleece, sun cream.

The morning is spent on a 1 hour ‘Classique’ raft descent down the river Dranse, some 30 minutes drive down the Vallée d’Aulps towards Lake Geneva. Your instructor demonstrates basic paddling techniques in the 8-man raft and issues you with a life jacket, paddle, wetsuit, helmet and shoes. The Classique is designed for all the family, and incorporates some lively rapids. It is great fun and very much a team effort. Our rafting company, AN Rafting, is one of the most experienced in Europe.

Alternatively if you have rafted before, you may wish to try the ‘Spéciale’ descent (ask for prices), hot-dogging or hydrospeeding instead.
- The ‘Spéciale’ is the same as the Classique descent but starts a little further up the river and takes approximately an extra 20 minutes.

If you enjoy the ‘Classique’ rafting you can book hot-dogging, hydrospeeding or the ‘Integrale’ (2-hour raft descent on some grade 4 rapids) for later in the holiday or next year!

After rafting we continue to the beautiful lakeside spa town of Evian-les-Bains, where we spend the afternoon at a water park in glorious setting besides Lake Geneva. There’s an Olympic pool, children’s pools, flume and diving boards into the lake. Pedalos, waterskiing and wakeboarding are also sometimes available.
