Winter Activities

Morzine/Avoriaz is in the heart of the Portes du Soleil region, which has 650 kms of marked piste for downhill skiing and snowboarding, with 243 kms of cross country skiing tracks. The area connects 12 resorts in France and Switzerland and is considered the largest linked ski area in the world. With 195 ski lifts and 694 snow cannons, the area's snow management and uplift capability has improved enormously over the last few years. From our central position, the Morzine, Les Gets and Avoriaz sectors are easily accessible.

The resort normally opens mid December unless we have good early snow, until the end of April. There are pistes for all abilities, from first timers to experienced back country skiers. Boarders will find some excellent snow parks, including 'The Stash', which winds through the trees in Les Lindarets. Avoriaz, the highest resort in the area at 1800 meters has a big snow park and a half pipe. Night skiing is also available on the Pleney slope in Morzine along with the weekly history of skiing show and a torchlight descent by the French ski instructors.

Other activities include snow shoe walking, dog sledding, horse drawn sleigh rides, ice skating (indoor and out), paragliding or just chilling out in the alpine sunshine.

Trips to the Vallee Blanche (3800 meters down to 1000 meters in one descent) above Chamonix can be arranged (weather and number dependant).
