Activities in Morzine

Below are our three favourite activities in Morzine but there are plenty more to choose from. Check out the selection of things to do below for some holiday inspiration – you'll see that there are plenty of alternatives to skiing and snowboarding in Morzine.

1. Winter sports, skiing & snowboarding: Skiing and snowboarding are probably the most popular activities in the Les Gets. But we're not talking about lift-assisted, downhill skiing and snowboarding only – there's a whole host of activities that involve boards strapped onto your feet including ski touring and split boarding, cross-country skiing or telemarking. But there's much more than just skiing and snowboarding in Morzine in the winter. The Les Gets mountains are the perfect setting to go snowshoeing and husky-dog sledging, while the ice skating rinks in Morzine town centre will keep the whole family entertained.

2. Mountain biking: Many people would argue that it's actually mountain biking that's the number one activity in Morzine. The Les Gets trails and bike parks are considered the best in the world and attract hundreds of enduro and downhill biking aficionados every summer to its almost 150km of tracks, that meander through lush forests to reach stunning mountaintops with breathtaking views. An experience not to be missed!

3. Walking, hiking & running: In the summer, the Les Gets pistes turn into meadows and deep-forested trails to explore on foot. From easy valley strolls to gruelling trail running climbs, everyone can explore the Morzine valley's beautiful sunny landscapes.

Rock climbing
Like most of the Alps, Morzine is a great place to go rock climbing. Experienced climbers can tackle the mountainside rock and enjoy the fantastic views (just make sure you have all the right gear and safety equipment). While there are a number of adventure companies and mountain guides who can take you out on your first climb and show you the 'ropes'. Some of the most popular rock climbing areas include the Rocher de la Chaux, which is perfect for beginners, near Saint Jean d'Aulps, the Falaise des Ardoisières near Morzine or the Terres Maudites, where the famous Morzinoise route is, which has long but moderately easy climbs.
How much does it cost to go rock climbing in Morzine? Rock climbing course prices in Morzine start at around €45 per person for a half-day group lesson and up to €400 for a full-day climbing private guide.

Via Ferrata
If climbing up sheer rock on the end of a piece of rope sounds a bit scary, then Via Ferrata climbing offers an element of security that still allows beginners to enjoy the achievement of having scaled a mountain. This form of climbing was invented by Italian soldiers in the Dolomites who used it to enable them to scale vertiginous faces easily and quickly. Following marked routes through the mountains, you are helped along by steps, bridges and ladders whilst being roped up for extra safety. The main Via Ferrata site in Morzine is the Saix du Tour, near Avoriaz. It is 600m in length and affords some beautiful views over the valley. It features footbridges, monkey bridges and ladders, and should take around two to two and a half hours to complete. It is accessible from May to October if there is no snow. Suitable for adults and children over the age of eight.
How much does it cost to try out Via Ferrata in Morzine? You can hire all the essential equipment, including helmet, harness and "cows tails" at most sports shops in resort – it'll set you back around €20. If you're a beginner, you should also book a mountain guide or instructor. Prices for Via Ferrata group lessons in Morzine start at around €45, with private guides charging around €220 for a half-day.

Ice climbing
For the true mountain enthusiast, why not scale an amazing frozen waterfall or glacier? This is a fantastic sport, not just for experienced mountaineers. The frozen columns of the Gachette, Dame du Lac and Brochaux waterfalls are stunning locations to try your hand at ice climbing. The ice climbing season peaks between December and March. You can either go with a guide from an adventure company in Morzine or you'll need to know what you are doing and bring your own kit.

Mountaineering & mountain climbing
The summits and ridges of the Chablais region might not be as famous as their neighbours in the Mont Blanc area but the fact that they are more gentle makes them fantastic terrain to discover ski mountaineering. The quantity of snow in winter usually requires using touring skis for the approach hike, which means ending the outing by a really enjoyable downhill run.

Guided tours
There are free guided tours of Morzine old town on Thursdays at 10:00 during the season from the covered hall next to the church. For a longer day out, head down towards Thonon and take a trip underground at the Gorges du Pont du Diable. There are a series of walkways and steps leading you into the gorge. It's a great place to escape the heat of the summer days!

Cheesemaking tours
If you fancy a free, educational activity, why not try a lesson in cheesemaking at the central Morzine cheese shop? La Fruitiere L’Alpage (which is close to La Ferme de la Fruitiere restaurant) offers free tours of its cheese cellar on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 09:00. You’ll learn about how all the popular Savoyard cheeses are made, whilst also tasting a few.

Museums
A visit to a museum is a great idea on a bad weather day or for those in the group who don't ski. In Les Gets, at the Mechanical Music Museum, you'll learn about the history and development of this kind of music. The slate workshop and mines in Morzine can also be visited – local master Franck Buet will explain the origins of this 100-year-old trade in Morzine and how the stone is crafted.

Mountain biking
Morzine, together with the wider Portes du Soleil area, was the first to create a dedicated mountain biking area based in a winter ski resort, and it's still considered the best MTB/VTT area in the world by many. Its popularity has increased year on year, aided and abetted by the stunning alpine scenery and more than 80 km of world-class enduro trails and 50 km of downhill slopes. The variety of terrain ensures that everyone, from beginners to expert and pro-level downhill and freeride riders, can get many days riding on trails suited to their preferences and ability level. Morzine's central position means you can freewheel down to the village from most of the Portes du Soleil ski lifts.
How much does it cost to go mountain biking in Morzine? Mountain bike prices in Morzine depend on what you need. If you have all the gear and all you want is to access the trails, then you'll only need a mountain bike lift pass – a one-day Portes du Soleil pass costs around €30. Then there's bike hire – renting a hardtail or full-suspension mountain bike for a day starts at around €70, and about €350 for a seven-day electric mountain bike hire.

Cycling
Morzine is great for cyclists. There are 15 mapped itineraries starting from here as well as 25 mountain passes within 50 km. The resort also boasts an international reputation thanks to having hosted 22 stages of the Tour de France. Although the routes are sometimes short, they are often quite steep which means that, to gain the most from your riding in the area, you need to have a reasonable level of fitness. The most famous cycling route here is the ascent from Morzine to Avoriaz which is a short 14.5 km with 850 metres of altitude gain and an average 6% ascent with peaks of 11%. When you're tackling it, try and measure yourself against Bernard Hinault's record: 33 minutes in 1979.

Paragliding
If you’ve never tried paragliding before, then Morzine is a great place to learn how to fly. Known as 'parapenting' in France, there are a great number of clubs and organisations in the area whose sole purpose is to give you the experience of flying. Flights usually start at the top of the Super Morzine lift and descend down to the Pléney. Other popular routes depart from the Chaux Fleurie, the Ardent and the Crete d'Arare. Top tip: go on a sunny, warm day when the thermals will keep your airborne for longer.

Hot-air ballooning
One of the best ways to take the spectacular mountain scenery from a different point of view is on a hot-air balloon. There are some companies in Morzine which offer balloon rides, which usually take up half a day including preparation and inflation.

The area boasts the 9-hole Morzine-Avoriaz golf course. Situated at the entrance to Avoriaz, the course is bordered by pine forests and has the spectacular back drop of the Chaîne des Aravis.

Downhill skiing & snowboarding
Lift-assisted downhill skiing and snowboarding are the most popular activities in Morzine. So much so that we could write several guides dedicated to them... and, in fact, we have! Take a look at our Ski Areas, Pistes and Parks Guide where you'll not only find a lot of information on the Morzine ski area but also links to many other articles: Ski Lifts Guide, Best Pistes Guide, Snowparks Guide, Beginner Ski Areas Guide, Advanced Ski Areas Guide, Off-Piste Ski Areas Guide, Ski Itineraries Guide and even a guide on the best places to go skiing when the weather is bad.

However, lift-assisted downhill skiing and snowboarding aren't the only things you can do in Morzine while having a pair of skis or a board strapped to your feet.

Ski touring & split boarding
Whether it's going up the pistes that most people normally ski down or tackling a backcountry route, ski touring and split boarding allow you to get off the beaten path while working a sweat up the slopes. A number of ski schools, private instructors and companies can show you around or, if you've got all the necessary knowledge, you can head out in your own group. Some of the most famous ski touring routes in Morzine include the Vallée de la Manche or Col du Fornet, the Hauts-Forts summit, the Pointe de Vorlaz and the Dents du Midi tour crossing the border over to Switzerland.
How much does it cost to go ski touring or split boarding in Morzine? It depends. Ski touring prices in Morzine range between €60 per day if you’re only renting the gear and around €400 if you’re also getting a guide for the day to help you explore the backcountry.

How much does it cost to go cross-country skiing in Morzine? You can hire the comfortable boots and lightweight skis and poles fairly inexpensively from most sports shops in Morzine, with cross-country rental prices starting at around €15 per day. You may also want to book a group or private lesson to learn the basics, in which case prices start at around €180 for a six-day group lesson. Finally, to access the higher trails you'll need a lift pass. Cross-country skiers can purchase pedestrian passes starting at around €7 for a single trip and up to €80 for six days.

Telemarking
Telemarking is a form of downhill skiing where you are only attached to the binding at the toe so, to turn, you have to lunge and bring your heel upwards. Talk to one of the ski schools or private instructors who can teach you how to telemark and take you out on excursions using this technique.
How much does it cost to go telemarking in Morzine? It depends. Telemarking prices in Morzine range between around €40 if you’re only buying a ski pass for a day, plus around €70 if you’re adding one-day gear rental, and around €90 if you’re also getting a private instructor for an hour to teach you the basics.

Heliskiing & heliboarding
Heli-skiing is not permitted in France but there are a couple of companies in Morzine offering panoramic helicopter rides that include heliskiing. They pick you up in resort and take you over the border into Italy or Switzerland from where you will ski down accompanied by a mountain guide. It is expensive, but definitely a once in a lifetime experience!

Prices start at around €300 per person and include the helicopter ride and a guide to go with you as you ski down the remotest areas in Morzine.

Biathlon
Modern winter biathlon is a combination of cross-country skiing and rifle shooting that tests not only fitness but also patience and control. In Morzine you can try your hand at this Olympic sport. If you like cross-country skiing but want to add another challenge, then biathlon is the perfect way to escape into the natural, quiet surrounding mountains and then shoot stuff. Bit of a contradiction this one, but it's fun all the same.
How much does it cost to try out biathlon in Morzine? Biathlon lessons usually start at around €150 for a half-day and they include all the equipment but for the cross-country ski rental, which starts at around €15 per day.

Speed riding
The idea behind speed riding is to combine the sensations of skiing and paragliding into one activity, and then descend off-piste sections of the mountain using a mini-wing to enable you to access areas that you might not normally go. Learning and having fun with speed riding comes very fast as long as you are a competent skier – you need to be able to ski red pistes with confidence in any type of snow. 
How much does it cost to try out speed riding in Morzine? Beginner speed riding lessons usually start at around €100 for a half-day group lesson and they include the wing but not the ski hire – high-end ski hire for advanced skiers starts at around €30 per day in Morzine. Speak to one of the companies offering this activity who can show you the ropes (literally).

Snowshoeing
Snowshoeing or, as the French call them, "raquettes à neige", is a perfect activity for bad weather conditions and a wonderful way for non-skiers to explore the mountains in and around Morzine. Either set out on your own or join a group led by a knowledgeable local guide and discover the hidden parts of the ski area. The trails will take you to places from where you can enjoy stunning views of Mont Blanc, Lake Geneva and the Swiss peaks or explore forests where local fauna such as chamois, wild goats and deer roam free. Popular spots include the Boutigny Valley and the Chardonnière forest.
How much does snowshoeing cost in Morzine? If you don't know the local area well, we recommend you get a private guide or join a group on a snowshoe expedition – it may seem safer than skiing but you'll be exploring backcountry trails where the avalanche danger is high so it's better to go with someone who knows what they're doing. These outings start at around €30 for a half-day. Snowshoes and ski poles are provided by most companies offering this as an experience, but you can also hire them from most ski hire shops in Morzine starting at around €10 per day.

After a brief explanation of how to make your team stop and start, you set off following the guide’s team. There are also child-dedicated rides. It's a very popular winter activity, so booking at least 48 hours in advance is a must. They run from early December to the end of April (snow-permitting) in Avoriaz.

Snowmobiling
Those who enjoy speed will love riding a powerful snowmobile (like a motorbike with caterpillar tracks) around Morzine. Discover the different dimensions of driving: carving turns, accelerating in a straight line, ascents and descents. Snowmobiles are a great way to explore Morzine especially as you get to ride them when the resort is at its quietest. Disappear into the woods and blast around empty snowfields on your scooter with your own guide. Remember to wrap up warmly especially if you go after dark, and bring goggles if there is powder. This is not a sport for the timid!

You can even get high thanks to the lifts running during the summer.

Winter walking
Morzine is a winter walker's paradise. With lifts giving access to the higher ground and a network of groomed trails in the winter, it's very easy to discover the resort on foot. Don’t forget to check the weather forecast before you set out as conditions can change rapidly in the mountains. You do not need any particular equipment, just a pair of sturdy boots and layers of warm clothing that you can take off or put on as necessary. A pair of walking poles will come in handy for extra balance on icy patches and for checking snow depth before you go striding forth. Top tip: buy ‘grippers’ for your walking boots to prevent slipping which you can buy from most local sport shops.

Kayaking, canoeing, stand up paddleboarding & pedalo boating at Lac Montriond
During the summer months, you can hire a canoe, pedalo, kayak or stand-up paddleboard at Lac Montriond. You can easily spend the day there splashing in the rock pools, having a picnic and walking around the shores.

Canyoning
Not-so-gentle but extremely refreshing summer activity is one way to describe canyoning!

You will make your way along rivers and rapids, using the river bed as a natural obstacle course. Not suitable for very young children but anyone over the age of about eight can take the (very cold) plunge and try canyoning. With the safety of a guide, everyone can abseil down cascades, splash into pools and ride the river rapids.

Caving & pot-holing
Caving or pot-holing (also known as Speleology) is an exciting way to explore the mountain caves and their intricate tunnel systems which have been naturally formed by the rock over time. Most of the caves will be absorbed in darkness so a hard hat and head torch are worn as well as appropriate clothing. If you are caving with an adventure company then they will provide all the safety equipment and tools necessary, as well as a professional guide. There are multiple caves to explore in the Morzine area, as well as in Megevette and La Balme. Children must be over seven years old to participate.
How much does it cost to go caving in Morzine? Caving or pot-holing prices in Morzine start at around €50 per person.
