Luxury Ski Holidays in Morzine

Just an hour’s drive from Geneva, Morzine is nestled between Lake Geneva and the iconic Mont Blanc in the heart of the Portes du Soleil ski area. Once a rural market town reliant on agriculture and slate mining, Morzine’s transformation began in the 1920s with the opening of the Grand Hotel. The construction of the Pleney cable car in 1934 further boosted the area, initially attracting hikers, and later, as skiing grew in popularity, skiers.

In the 1960s, Olympic champion Jean Vuarnet played a pivotal role in developing Avoriaz as a ski resort, leading to the creation of the Portes du Soleil ski area and solidifying Morzine’s status as a top ski destination. Today, Morzine is a popular year-round tourist destination, yet it has managed to preserve its authentic Alpine charm through its architecture, ambience, and the warmth of the locals.

Luxury ski chalets in Morzine provide a fantastic base for family holidays offering entertainment for all ages both on and off the slopes. The local ski area, connected to Les Gets, boasts 120 km of pistes accessible via the main Le Pléney gondola in the town centre. Although Morzine is relatively low in elevation, its grassy slopes require only a thin layer of snow to remain open. The resort has invested in advanced snowmaking technology to ensure good conditions even when natural snowfall is sparse.

Offering affordable chalets and a vibrant après ski scene, Morzine is an easily accessible resort that makes for an excellent base for a week of skiing. Explore the diverse terrain of the Portes du Soleil by heading up to Avoriaz. If you have time in the afternoon, venture over to the Swiss side, but be sure not to miss the last lift back!
