Half-term is the perfect excuse to swap screens for snowy adventures, and Morzine is one of the best alpine resorts for family holidays in the French Alps. Set in the heart of the Portes du Soleil, this charming mountain village offers far more than world-class skiing, with activities to suit toddlers, teens and adults alike.

Here’s our guide to the best ways to make the most of your February half-term holiday in the mountains.

Children are made to feel welcome, with many venues offering games, cosy seating and a laid-back atmosphere, whilst those serving food often have dedicated children's menus if your après drinks spill over into dinner… (no pun intended).

The sledging slope at the Parc des Dérêches is a popular choice for families, offering a safe and accessible place for little ones to enjoy the snow, while other areas around the resort provide opportunities for longer runs and family races.
