Summary
Morzine is a long-established year-round resort, popular for its easy road access, traditional atmosphere and gentle wooded slopes; bad weather rarely causes problems (except that it rains here not infrequently). For keen piste-bashers wanting to ski the Portes du Soleil circuit regularly, the main drawback is that you’re slightly off the main circuit. But there are ways to deal with that.

News – 2010/11
A new six-pack to the top of Chamossière replaced the triple chair and Blanchots draglift. Eleven new snow-guns were installed on the Pléney and Nyon sectors. A new lift pass for five consecutive hours starting any time has replaced the half-day pass.
