Welcome to Morgins<\/h2>\n

Morgins is centrally located within Portes du Soleil and has an unmistakably Dutch feel to it. The village is famous for its fabulous views and the absence of any high-rise buildings helps create a pleasant, rustic atmosphere. Morgins has a compact town centre with 2 supermarkets. There are 3 ski schools in the village and plenty of cafes to suit all tastes: from hip and trendy to homely and traditional. Put quite simply, there is something for everyone in Morgins.<\/p>\n

Central location in Europe, offering a wide range of facilities<\/h2>\n

The village is located at the very heart of Europe, close to Geneva (90 minutes), Lausanne (50 minutes), Montreux (30 minutes) and Milan (3.5 hours). It lies in mountainous, wooded terrain 1400 metres above sea level on the French border. Morgins boasts a wide variety of architectural styles, which gives it a somewhat rambling appearance.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]In the summer you can enjoy many activities in the area, such as visiting the local markets and the Buvettes d’alpage or tasting local products at the farms in the region. The area is also a walker’s paradise, with over 800 km of pristine and unspoilt paths.<\/p>\n

All-year-round activity<\/h2>\n

Other summer activities include mountain biking (incl. an 80 km enduro tour), a trip to the swimming poll, with its enormous sunbathing area, and horse riding. In the winter you find yourself right in the middle of Portes du Soleil. This skiing region boasts 650 km of challenging pistes that crisscross the Morzine, Abondance, Avoriaz, Champoussin and Les Crosets resorts.

SKI AREA PORTES DU SOLEIL<\/h2>\n

Morgins is part of the international ski sports destination that is Portes du Soleil. You will have the world\u2019s largest linked skiing area right on your doorstep: two countries, 14 resorts, 650 km of piste at all grades of difficulty, and almost 200 ski lifts. Not to mention snowparks, half-pipes, Boarder X and snowcross, and hundreds of kilometres of freeriding. And, best of all: just one ski pass for everything. Portes du Soleil has so much to offer, you just have to experience it for yourself.<\/p>\n

But the region is famous for more than just its ski sports. The good neighbourly relations between France and Switzerland, and the hospitality of the locals, are just as much appreciated by visitors.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”View Piste Map” style=”outline” shape=”square” color=”default” link=”url:%2Fenvirons%2F%23%2Fpistes|title:Pistes|”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”66px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Each resort offers its own identity and unique range of activities. Whether you\u2019re a novice or expert skier, magical vistas await.<\/p>\n

Wintersports of all kinds have a rich history here. You can cross the Franco-Swiss border on skis or snowboard, on the piste or a cross-country route, on a winter hike or even a paraglider. The traditional mountain huts can offer the warmest of welcomes. Follow the Pass\u2019Gourmet for outstanding examples of Valais and Savoyard cuisine served in romantic lodges.<\/p>\n

To get the most out of your stay, we recommend booking a guide who knows the area like the back of his hand. You can find one at the M3S Morgins Ski & Snowboard School.<\/p>\n
