Morzine: The Town

Morzine ski resort is a stunning little town nestled in the northern French Alps. Unlike most large ski resorts, Morzine has maintained it’s alpine feel, with the resort still being dominated by traditional ski chalets rather than apartment blocks and hotels. This is largely because of a local law stating that no buildings are allowed to be constructed higher than 5 stories. The main road (Route de la Plagne) runs straight through the centre of Morzine ski resort. Like most ski resorts located in an alpine valley, Morzine is situated on the main river running through the valley – La Dranse de la Manche.

The majority of bars, restaurants and shops are located in the old centre of Morzine and is geographically quite a small area. It is easy to walk everywhere in Morzine town centre. There are also a number of reliable ski buses that service Morzine town centre and the surrounding hamlets. The buses stop in the early evening, and after that there are a number of Morzine taxi services that operate into the small hours.
