Morzine does not have a train station, however, the two train stations closest to Morzine are Cluses (29km away) and Thonon-Les-Bains (32km away). Trains stop at both stations on the way to and from Paris.
If travelling from the UK, the whole trip will take around 12 hours, starting with the Eurostar to Gare du Nord Station in Paris, then a metro ride to catch your connecting train heading from Gare du Lyon station to Geneva Cornavin, to reach Cluses or Thonon-Les-Bains. You’ll then need to get to Morzine from the train station, catching a local bus is the cheapest option.
Our customers love the comfort and convenience of our reliable shared transfers and private transfers giving them more time at the resort to enjoy everything Morzine has to offer.
Driving to Morzine
Some people choose to drive to Morzine, stopping in France along the way if travelling from the UK. Make sure you budget for toll roads as your drive through Paris, these will usually add up to around £70-80 each way.
There are a few things you’ll need to bear in mind if you are planning to drive to Morzine, one of the most important being that, in the winter season, you are legally required to have winter tyres and carry snow chains in your car when you reach the mountains. After leaving the motorway you’ll need to negotiate 45km of winding mountain roads to reach the resort, which can take around an hour.
There’s also the option to fly to Geneva and hire a car for the onward journey, this will depend on your confidence with winter driving in the mountains. It is usually cheaper to book an airport transfer and let someone else take care of the driving.
Booking our airport transfer service will mean you can relax, and not have to worry about negotiating unfamiliar mountain roads or wrestling snow chains onto your car after a long journey. We offer both private transfers and shared transfers with experienced drivers who’ll get you to your accommodation safely, meaning you can relax and have a stress-free start to your break.

In the winter, coach services travel overnight from London Victoria Coach Station to nearby Cluses, the journey is via Folkestone and takes around 18 hours in total. Once you arrive in Cluses you will need to catch another bus to Morzine.
