Morzine is the gateway to the enormous Portes du Soleil ski area which covers 12 resorts in France and Switzerland, with a huge variety of skiing to suit all levels of ability in the region that has 650km of pistes. Morzine is relatively sheltered and rests in the valley; so to access the ski area you can ride one of the two main cable cars either up to Avoriaz or towards Les Gets. The terrain that can we found in the higher mountains is extraordinary, with a wide array of easy cruising blues and reds for intermediate skiers as well as some brilliant facilities and areas for the more advanced skiers and snowboarders.
