A traditional village with an atmospheric centre and authentic architecture: that's Morzine. It is located in the heart of the extensive Les Portes du Soleil ski area. The buildings in Morzine have retained their alpine charm despite the rising popularity of the ski resort over the years.
However, Morzine is certainly not lacking great shops, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Just like at other ski resorts in France, you can party until long after the sun goes down! There are also several places you can enjoy a relaxing massage in Morzine, to make sure your muscles feel great after skiing. Several ski lifts are spread throughout the village to help you get around. There’s even a large cable car that can get you to the neighbouring ski resort of Avoriaz in just four minutes. During the day, free ski buses run between the many ski lifts, making it even easier for you to explore.
With a Sunweb ski holiday package, an Avoriaz ski pass will be included. That gives you access to 130km of piste at no additional cost! However, you can also choose to expand your ski pass to the entirety of Les Portes du Soleil. The Les Portes du Soleil ski area is one of the two largest ski areas in the world. With 650 kilometres of slopes to discover, you can ski to your heart’s content there. It also features no less than 9 snowparks to choose from, so you can start practicing your freestyle skills.
