How to stay cool in the summer heat of Morzine, check out these refreshing activities.

When summer heats up in the Morzine and Avoriaz area, the temperatures can soar above 30ºC. However, there are plenty of places to cool down in the Portes du Soleil, from lakes to rivers and swimming pools, you're never too far from the water.

Have some fun in the Wibit waterpark in Les Gets or gently canoe around Lac Montriond, cool down after a hike at the waterfall at Brochaux or for those wishing to enjoy the water at speed, try canyoning or white water rafting.

Here's a quick rundown of some of the more refreshing activities you can partake in on those stiflingly hot days.
