12 villages make up the Portes du Soleil, and La Cote d’Arbroz village at 1200m altitude rubs shoulders with the charming alpine village of Morzine, probably the best known of the villages. Morzine bursts with alpine charm throughout the year with outstanding winter lights through the snowy months and stunning flower displays in the summer. Ice rinks and horse drawn carriages are all part of daily life here in the winter, while bustling local markets, spectacular flower displays, mountain meadows scattered with alpine flowers and herds of bell wearing cows are what we are about in the summer.

Whether you want to hop on your bike, ski the back country, hike the mountains, swim in the lakes, sail across Lake Geneva or relax at a mountain restaurant with a vin chaud or refreshing glass of rose, you will not tire of the activities there are to do here. The mountains offer something for everyone and you won’t be disappointed.

During the winter the Portes du Soleil boasts to be one of the largest ski playgrounds in the world with 196 lifts and an amazing 650km of skiable terrain. The area offers skiing for all abilities and allows you to ski across the French-Swiss border as you please. Summer months it’s known to be the mecca for mountain bikers with thousands of kilometres of down hill and cross country trails available. In addition road bikers are in their element enjoying miles and miles of stunning routes throughout the Haute Savoie region.

Your own transport is necessary, as there are currently no public transport links to and from the village, however private transport for your stay can easily be arranged.
