General info:

Morzine is one of 14 resorts in the massive Portes du Soleil ski area, which spans the Franco-Swiss border. With 52 hotels and 41 bars and restaurants, it’s a concentration of ski holiday facilities, but still manages to pull off that authentic mountain village feel. When it comes to the slopes, Morzine is a fine destination for beginners and intermediate skiers, with an abundance of gentle pistes. It’s also a good place from which to explore the Porte du Soleil’s many off piste options if you’re feeling adventurous. Lifts often lead directly up to these areas, which mean less hiking and more skiing. Freestylers, however, may want to skip Morzine and head to neighbouring Avoriaz, since Morzine’s park doesn’t offer anything exceptional.
