Learn to ski in Morzine

Morzine is part of the vast Franco-Swiss ski area Portes du Soleil. The other resorts of Portes du Soleil are Abondance, Avoriaz 1800, Champéry, Châtel, La Chapelle d’Abondance, Les Gets, Montriond, Morgins, St Jean d’Aulps, Torgon and Val-d’Illiez-Les Crosets-Champoussin. With that many resorts, it comes as no surprise that the entire ski area offers over 650km of slopes. Skiers can ski on slopes between 1000m and 2000m in altitude and in three different sectors: Pleney, whose numerous blue slopes are a true dream playground to the ski schools in Morzine; Nyon, the sector that offers best conditions for experienced skiers, and Chamossières.

The ski resort Morzine-Avoriaz is situated in the Northern Alps, between Lake Geneva and the famous Mont Blanc, only a few kilometres from the Swiss border. People travelling by car can reach the resort in 2.5h from Lyon and in 1.5h from Geneva.
