Getting Around Guide

How to get around in Morzine

Updated

There's plenty going on in Morzine, so it pays to know how to get around. We've put together this handy guide on the best way to get around so you can get to all the key places, and help you find your bearings quickly. 

There is a great bus system here in Morzine, covering the resort and the whole valley.

In summer you have many options for cycling all over the resort, but we wouldn't recommend taking to two wheels in winter.

This is our quick guide to getting around resort. 

About Local Buses in Morzine, Les Gets & Avoriaz

Buses

Morzine has an excellent and reliable winter bus network connecting the entire valley, from Le Biot to Les Gets, with regular stops including Saint Jean d’Aulps. Buses run daily from around 07:00 to 19:00, and free shuttles also serve routes from central Morzine up the Vallée de la Manche via the Nyon lift. 

Timetables are available at the Tourist Office in town.

Train

Morzine has a free Petit Train that runs throughout the day, connecting the Super Morzine lift, Pleney lift, and the swimming pool - perfect for families and tired skiers. 

Les Gets also has a Petit Train linking Chavannes to Mont Chéry in winter, with extended routes around the village and to lac des écoles in summer.

Driving

Driving between Portes du Soleil resorts can be tempting, but parking is often difficult during peak seasons and it's not the most eco-friendly option. If you do drive, carpool when possible and make sure your vehicle has winter tyres or chains between late November and early April.

Taxi

Late-night taxis in Morzine are limited and often busy, so it’s essential to book in advance. Many transfer companies offer resort cabs, but planning ahead is key to avoiding a long walk home.

Bike

Morzine is a mecca for mountain bikers and a fair few road bikers too, so the place is packed with bikes. The town itself is small enough that you don't need to cycle around it, and there aren't any dedicated cycle lanes per se.

On foot

Morzine is easy to explore on foot, with a pedestrian-friendly centre and access to nearby villages via scenic trails. In summer, a wide range of hikes are accessible thanks to the lift network.
