snowboarding morzineOverview

With over 650kms of piste in the area, Morzine-Avoriaz and Les Gets is the largest ski and snowboard area in the World, and offers some truly great skiing and boarding for families and groups of friends. The area spans over 12 separate ski stations and the mass of inter connecting ski slopes will have you finding new runs you have never tried before, even after weeks of touring! The facilities and nightlife are almost unrivalled and with floodlit skiing, this resort puts most major European and American resorts to shame!

Snow sure

Even though Morzine sits at a moderate altitude, it is the most northerly ski resort in France, which means that it will always get much better snow than most other French resorts at the same altitude. This factor along with an abundance of north facing slopes, means the snow often lasts well into May!

Snowboarding in Morzine

Avoriaz was the 1st ever resort to adopt snowboarding in the early 1990s when it hosted the British Championships. Since then the facilities have been improved upon every year and the 6 or 7 terrain-parks that feature in the local area are testament to that. They range from the very large “Super Park” in the Swiss sector to the easier Junior parks of Les Gets, with jumps of all sizes so that even the novices are not intimidated from “giving it a go”. The Freeride terrain and Off Piste is also excellent in this resort, and this resort is the season choice of residency for many British and foreign Pro’s.

Beginners in Morzine

It is the resort’s suitability to beginners and the range of inexpensive child facilities that really stand Morzine and Les Gets out from the crowd. The range of kids’ clubs and ski gardens, as well as circuits of gentle runs for easy cruising, and hardly any drag lifts, (great for beginners), make it a very popular choice for beginner skiers, boarders and families.

Resort life

Morzine is a very pretty and pleasant resort to stay in. Being quite a large mountain resort there is lots to offer and it is heavily accentuated with the right amount of British presence. Socially it is one of livelier resorts in France and offers late night venues for partying or relaxed drinking and dining venues for the more sedate and family minded skiers!
