Geneva To Morzine Transfers

Let’s start with the basics, where is Morzine?

Like many resorts in the region, Morzine is actually in the French Alps but is extremely close to the border with Switzerland. This means it’s easily accessible from both nations. 

For example, Morzine is just an hour away from Geneva Airport, making it one of the region’s most easily accessible resorts. Plus, it’s just 20 miles from the stunning Lake Geneva, so if you fancy a day away from the slopes to marvel at a piece of natural Swiss beauty while on your trip, Morzine is always a good option.

More specifically, Morzine is part of the extensive Portes du Soleil ski area which is home to a wide range of ski resorts. This means it’s also possible to visit other resorts and experience different slopes if you feel like it. 

Morzine is known for its charming alpine village atmosphere, extensive ski area and a wide range of winter activities to enjoy, making it one of the most popular choice for skiers and snowboarders alike.

Morzine sits at the very heart of the Portes du Soleil ski area, and boasts an impressive altitude of 1,000m. If you fancy something slightly higher, its sister resort Avoriaz offers heights of 1,800m and can be easily reached from Morzine if you wish to use the resort as your base to visit other places nearby.

However, altitude is not always the be-all and end-all. 

In fact, many of the lower slopes at Morzine are regarded as better due to the fact that the pistes are built on pasture land. This means it’s less rocky and generally easier for snow to settle on making for a smoother skiing experience.

The best time for skiing in Morzine is from December to April. However, this window may change depending on the weather conditions across the season.

During February, Morzine can be very busy with the half term school holidays in the UK and Europe taking place, so make sure you book in advance to get the best deals if you are travelling at this time.
