As part of the world’s largest linked ski area, it boasts access to over 650 km of slopes in the Portes Du Soleil, with direct links to Avoriaz which itself reaches an impressive altitude of 2400 meters and therefore great snow fall. Beginner, intermediate or expert, there’s plenty of exciting ski terrain to explore.
Morzine also benefits from superior snow quality compared to other higher French resorts, with meticulously maintained pistes and over snow 500 cannons.
