A real valley town, not a slope-side resort: most hotels use the Pléney and Super-Morzine cable cars or the free ski-bus to reach the snow.
Lower than its neighbours at 1,000 m, Morzine leans on snowmaking and the high Avoriaz sector when the valley warms, but its appeal is the town itself: proper restaurants, a Sunday market and an easy bus to the lifts. Families love it, and the link to Les Gets gives a gentler day out away from the Avoriaz crowds.
