French Alps summer holiday dreams are made in Morzine. A mecca for mountain bikers and poolside loungers alike. Fun, friendly, and fondue-fantastic.
- Lush valleys, wild ridgelines
- Bikes, boots and brilliant views
- Laid-back charm, yet lots of buzz
Trade your ski boots for trail shoes and turn up the summer spirit in Morzine. Draped across a pine-clad valley in the French Alps, this laid-back village morphs into a full-blown outdoor playground once the snow melts. It’s got all the good stuff: family-friendly trails, jaw-dropping bike parks, lake swims, goat villages (yes, really), and food that deserves its own fan club.
Whether you’re here to ride, roam, or just relax with a rosé and a view, Morzine gets the balance right. You’ll find hiking for every pace, gondolas that whisk you to new heights, and more activities than you can shake a baguette at. The vibe? Friendly, active, and effortlessly alpine - with English widely spoken and welcome drinks often served. From solo thrill-seekers to big family groups, Morzine does summer holidays like it means it.
Plus, getting around Morzine in summer is a breeze thanks to the Portes du Soleil Multi-Pass. For just €3 a day when you stay at participating accommodations (we have lots to choose from), you get unlimited access to pedestrian lifts (great for walkers, families and sightseers), plus public transport, the swimming pool, ice rink, mini golf and more. If you’re mountain biking, there’s a separate dedicated MTB lift pass for cyclists.

Cycling & Mountain biking
Calling all pedal pushers! Morzine’s got your number. Road cyclists can conquer Tour de France climbs, mountain bikers get a front-row pass to Europe’s top bike park, and e-bike cruisers have plenty to grin about. Rentals abound from many local shops, and if you’re mountain biking, the Portes du Soleil MTB lift pass gives you access to 25 lifts across 12 resorts, including Morzine, Les Gets, Avoriaz, and beyond - covering the full 850 km trail network. Your legs might beg for mercy, but the endorphins (and views) will be worth it.

- Super Morzine MTB Park - Berms, drops and flowy forest lines galore. Loved by MTB pros, but accessible for confident riders.
- E-bike routes to Montriond - Gently hilly, wildly pretty. Perfect for Sunday cyclists and pub-lunch adventurers.
