Only some 50km from Geneva and 20 from Cluses for the TGV Morzine, and neighbouring Les Gets, of the easiest to access, particularly for the weekend.
Both resorts are busy with Morzine having perhaps a livelier night life. They share some of the densest skiing of the Portes du Soleil and access to the rest of the circuit is relatively easy from Morzine.
The skiing is based in the main on both sides of the ridge which runs from Le Pleney to Le Ranfolly with connected skiing at La Turche beyond Les Gets and up to Nyon above Morzine. Les Gets also has a separate ski area at Mont Chéry with an interesting black run down to the Col de L’Encrenaz. The skiing has plenty to offer beginners and intermediates. Ski school in both resorts is not just limited to the Ecole du Ski Français and Morzine has the British Alpine Ski School which has small classes and high standards.
Morzine is an old market town, which has a family atmosphere and is surrounded by attractive forests and old style chalets. It is slightly spread out but there is a good bus service. Après ski is good; there are a number of delicious restaurants and plenty of busy bars.
