The charming town of Morzine is situated right at the heart of the stunning Portes du Soleil ski area, offering visitors enchanting alpine views, old-world Savoyard charm and a wealth of outdoor activities to enjoy, whatever the season. Boasting a majestic Mont Blanc backdrop, the vast Portes du Soleil area encompasses twelve interconnected ski resorts with over 600 kilometres of slopes to suit all levels of experience. Here, skiers and snowboarders can spend sunny afternoons roaming between Morzine, Châtel and Switzerland. Chalet Cress is approximately one kilometre from Morzine’s centre, while Le Pléney is the chalet’s nearest ski lift, offering spectacular panoramic views. For young families, there are nursery slopes available in the town, while intermediate and advanced skiers can make the most of a variety of exciting blue and red runs nearby. Morzine is also home to roughly 50km of cross-country trails. There are plenty of fantastic green and blue slopes around Avoriaz, where novice skiers can spend the day progressing at their own pace and exploring in peace. Later on, foodies will be thrilled to find a wide array of fabulous French and Swiss restaurants dotted across Morzine and the surrounding resort. Enjoy a delicious and hearty lunch on a sun-soaked terrace after a morning spent skiing in the fresh mountain air. Morzine offers many arrès-ski options for visitors to enjoy, ranging from cosy mountain inns to lively bars in the heart of the town centre. For something a little different, indoor activities such as spa treatments and wine tastings make for indulgent and memorable evening experiences. During the winter months, the scenic village of Les Lindarets offers a dazzling white playground for skiers and snowboarders to enjoy. When summer arrives, hundreds of goats roam the streets of this quaint alpine village in place of all the winter sports enthusiasts! Take care driving or cycling here, but do make sure to visit to take in this incredibly unique sight, accompanied by the dreamlike sound of chiming bells. Afterwards, visit the emerald waters of Lake Montriond, with its backdrop of immense cliffs and verdant woodlands. Enjoy a serene swim, an afternoon of water sports or a picnic in the sun here before cycling to the cascading waters of the Brochaux Waterfall. Les Lindarets is also home to fantastic local food producers, so you can pick up some delicious cheese on your way home to Chalet Cress! Wholly deserving of its excellent reputation, Morzine and the spectacular Portes du Soleil ski area offer winter sports enthusiasts and nature lovers alike a uniquely beautiful setting in the French Alps, with endless opportunities for outdoor adventures and truly restorative experiences.
