The Village of Goats is a small mountain hamlet near the lower slopes of Avoriaz and is literally over-run with goats. They amble up and down the main street, regulate the traffic, nose in on your ice cream (they are not shy!) and generally provide a lot of laughter and INSTA material. Around forty goats pace up and down the alleys and claim for affection. The shops sell little paper bags filled with food made for goats.

The village is between Les Lindarets and Lac Montriond and makes for a great lunch or coffee stop during a day out, for example following our Route Card 1, which our reps can give to you on arrival. You will start by taking the Super Morzine and Zorres chairlift, free using your lift pass, and then walk (or bike) for 1hr down into Lindarets and an further 15mins is the Village of goats, then continue your walk or cycle down to Lac Montriond (a further 40 mins). At the lake you can go wild swimming or paddleboarding/kayaking before heading back to Morzine on the free bus.

This gorgeous alpine lake is located about 15 mins drive from the centre of Morzine, or it’s a lovely walk or cycle to the lake from Morzine centre: along the river and up through the forest and valley. Ask our Reps for the Mines D’Or Route Card. Eat at the Mines d'Or restaurant, go hiking at the Col de Cou near the Swiss border or try any number of other great walking itineraries from this lake.
