Morzine
Morzine is a large, lively resort, is great for weekend ski breaks and has great skiing potential. It is a perfect example of what French ski resorts should be like.
It is a traditional bustling market town with access to the impressive Portes Du Soleil circuit. Although its altitude is a bit of a problem it does benefit from its proximity to Mont Blanc which has a cooling effect on the resort.
Bad weather rarely causes a problem in Morzine, although, if you want to ski the main Portes du Soleil circuit, you will have to take a bus and cable car to access it.
Pros
- Lots of tree lined skiing and few queues.
- The town is attractive, lively and has a good nightlife.
- The local ski area is a good size and the resort links into the vast Portes du Soleil circuit.
Cons
- The low altitude of the resort means that it can suffer from poor snow.
- There is little challenging terrain for experts and you’ll need to take a bus ride to get from your accommodation to the lifts and to the main Portes du Soleil circuit.
- The slopes can get busy on the weekends.
