Morzine

Morzine is a thriving Alpine village set deep in the Chablais mountain range, between Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc, by the France-Switzerland border. It has grown over the years to become a charming ski resort in winter.

• The biggest winter festival is the Rock des Pistes week in March, where live bands play up on the pistes.
• The area offers riders some of the world’s best biking terrain, with around 380km of marked trails with varying degrees of technical skill required.
