Summer
Chalet de la Corniche is available throughout the summer months.
During this time Morzine remains serene but alive and a particularly
favourite destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you seek
adrenalin filled activities such as white water rafting or downhill
mountain biking, an afternoon on the 9 hole golf course, or a leisurely
shopping trip to nearby Annecy, Morzine is an ideal place to spend a
holiday in the Alps.
The peace and tranquillity offered by the surrounding area will allow
you to switch off, relax and unwind during your stay with us. If you prefer something less energetic you can always visit the farm, discover local crafts or try some regional meats and cheeses in the alpine pastures.

Tour de France Morzine has hosted Tour de France stage finishes on
several occasions, thanks in part to the proximity of the notoriously steep Col de
Joux-Plane climb. It was here that seven times Tour de France winner Lance
Amstrong had his most difficult moment in the 2000 race, although he sufficiently
limited his losses to retain the Yellow Jersey.
Summer Activities
Mountain Biking Downhill mountain biking in the Portes du Soleil is some of the best available in Europe, if not the world. Morzine is the centre point and from here you can reach other resorts including Avoriaz, Morgins, Chatel and Les Gets; and all by chairlift and cable car. The resorts of Pila, Verbier and Les Arcs are also within easy reach with a car, thus giving you access to more than enough places to ride. The trails are generally single track and with varying levels of course and trail available from steep, rooty and technical to the fast open downhill tracks.
Football Morzine is home to the annual French Mountain Villages Football Tournament (Tournoi des Montagnes) where the best junior teams compete for a much coveted trophy each June. The 2009 tournament saw Morzine under 11 team crowned champions for the second consecutive year after victory in the final against Megeve. The under 13's trophy was won by Valdoie following a penalty shootout against Marignier.
There is a large ‘La Maison du Tourisme’ in the town centre, providing details on all sorts of events as well as up to date weather and snow reports; but for more information before you arrive visit www.morzine.com
