Morzine is one of the most popular alpine towns in summertime, with visitors coming to enjoy the adventure sports, the mountain lifestyle and the general atmosphere in town, which offers cafés, bars, restaurants and shops.

A summer walking holiday in Morzine
For views of Mont Blanc and a horizon of jagged Alps, on a route not too taxing, take the circular walk from Mont Chery to Mont Caly. Or, follow the path of the French Resistance crossing into Switzerland over the Col de Cou, for something moderate in difficulty. Chairlifts boost walkers to higher ground and towards plenty of alpine restaurants, also giving access to charming neighbouring villages.
Mountain bikers paradise
Whether it’s road biking or mountain biking, gravel biking or e-biking, Morzine is the place for it - for first timers, experts and everyone in between. The Tour de France first came through Morzine in 1975, and it’s been a regular stage for the Tour since. Morzine Bike Park is open through summer with 650 kilometres of trails, 25 bike-friendly lifts and eight world-class bike parks - all on one bike lift pass (payable locally).
Family Holidays in Morzine
Your holiday includes a Morzine Multipass, which gives you access to various summer lifts (pedestrian access only) as well as discounts on local attractions - perfect for families looking to make the most of some of the local activities. Families that are keen on walking will find numerous routes in the area that cater to different abilities and vary in length. Smaller children will love the Fox Trail, with carved wooden foxes on the route for kids to spot along the way and when you've had enough, just turn back and head the way you came. For a great day out, visit the lovely Lac de Montriond, just a short bus ride from Morzine and great for paddling in the lake or enjoying a picnic in the sunshine.
A great destination for nature lovers
There's nothing better than a summer holiday amongst nature and the scenery, lakes and mountains around Morzine are beautiful to explore. Make use of the summer lifts and head up into the mountains to enjoy some of the walking paths, bike trails or simple enjoy the views. The lakes around Morzine are also lovely to explore during the summer, with the popular Lac de Montriond nearby. Or, for quieter lakes, journey to Lac des Mines d’Or, or high altitude Lac de Joux Plane, that’s really remote.
