This small family-run hotel, situated in the heart of the lively but traditional resort of Morzine, is ideal for holiday-makers looking to be close to the centre but also the slopes. For your convenience, the hotel is also virtually ski-in ski-out. All bedrooms have ensuite facilities, a private balcony and an LCD TV. After a long day of skiing, guests can relax in the outdoor hot tub and enjoy the stunning views of the Pleney. Alternatively, guests can enjoy some local ales in the bar.

Morzine skiing

Morzine is part of the massive Porte du Soleil ski area. It really does offer something for everyone, particularly for boarders, who can also head to Avoriaz where they'll find a series of snowparks and a giant "ecological park" (loads of natural modules set off-piste between the trees)called the Stash. Beginners will appreciate some of the gentle local runs, which help on those first tentative days.

Morzine ski resort

Before becomming a ski resort, beautiful Morzine was originally a town in itself. This means that there is more to do than in your average purpose-built resort, with a decent selection of shops and more non-skiing activities than you will need in a week. Accommodation is varied in terms of size, age and price.
