September in Morzine: What's on and weather

Mont Blanc rally, a 24-hour mountain bike relay race and there's a slight chill in the air

Summer isn't over and there are a whole host of events to choose from.

Whilst the crowds may have dispersed, there's still lots to see and do in Morzine at this time of year. As the resort is returned to the locals and remaining holidaymakers after a busy season, the weather is usually good, and that means there's still plenty of opportunities to get out and about, unimpeded by crowds and it's definitely easier to get a table in a restaurant and a seat on a sunny terrace.

This is when we like to go trail running, hiking, biking, and climbing... but without all the crowds. Plus a little relaxation time.

Read on for a look at what we like to do in resort throughout September.

What's the weather like in Morzine in September?

Cycling in Morzine

With the cooler temperatures and the quieter roads now the main bulk of the holidaymakers have left resort, it's a great time to get out your bike and explore the many routes and cols.

Walking in Morzine

There are three mountain peaks that loom over the town of Morzine: Pointe de Nantaux, Pointe de Ressachaux and Pointe de Nyon. The Morzine three peaks challenge takes in all three in one day - for the experienced hiker with a high level of fitness and the rewards are great for those willing to put in the training, it is truly an amazing way to explore Morzine and its surrounding area.

Mountain Biking in Morzine

September in Morzine is ideal for mountain biking, with lift-accessed trails still open before seasonal closure. Riders enjoy quiet paths, cooler weather, and varied terrain across the Portes du Soleil.
