Lest Gets Tourist Information By Chalet Annapurna
Official Tourist Information Website & Weather
Morzine
A traditional market town in the heart of the Portes du Soleil, Morzine is dominated by attractive chalets spread across a river gorge, bordered by partially wooded slopes allowing skiing in poor weather conditions.
It is linked to Les Gets and is covered under the same lift pass. The immediate terrain makes the area best suited for beginners and less-seasoned skiers and snow-boarders, which has led to the resort being especially popular with families. However more challenging slopes can be found at Avoriaz (portes du soleil pass req) via the Prodains lifts which are only five minutes away on the excellent local bus service. The off-piste 'trails' are both varied and adventurous, making the village a firm favourite with snow-boarders, including various European national teams and pro-riders. The nightlife of this functioning French village also keeps the boarders happy, whilst the powder builds.
The village at 1000m, with top station at 2020m, is closely linked to its neighbours Avoriaz and Les Gets in that they function as linked skiing centres during the winter season. The two resorts are included in the Portes du Soleil ski area, which includes both French and Swiss villages.
