All About Morzine
650 km of Prepared Pistes
Unlimited off piste!
Morzine is a charming and traditional village with the chalets built in
the Savoyard style with wooden facades, carved balconies and slate
covered roofs. Although the village may have existed for at least a
thousand years tourism only arrived rather more recently when the first
hotel, The Grand, opened in 1925.
In 1934 the opening of the Pleney cable car made getting
up the mountain to go downhill easy. After Pleney, the Pointe de
Nyon was introduced as a second ski area and then in 1966 the
futuristic resort of Avoriaz opened. When Super Morzine opened in
the 1980’s a lift link between Morzine and Avoriaz was created.

Today, Morzine is one of the best loved resorts in the
Alps. It has retained its original charm and traditions and now blends
this with modern technology.
Nightlife and Eating Out
Eating out on
the town
There is a wide choice of restaurants and bars - all within easy
walking distance of our chalet and apartments so no need for driving or
taxis.
Try traditional Savoyard dishes such as pierrade,
tartiflette and raclette or for something a little more special visit
La Chamade or Le Grange. Most menus have English translation.
For bars visit Buddha, Cavern, Coyote Bar, Dixies, Bar
Robinson and The Wine Bar. The Opera and Le Paradis nightclubs
open until 5am so no need to stop partying when the bars shut.
