Morzine Events - Summer
|
There are loads of events organised year-round throughout Morzine and the Portes du Soleil. From quirky local events to large scale sporting spectacles there is always something worth a gander. In this section, we bring you information about the major annual events in resort, and don't forget to check out our weekly What's On calender for the latest updates. |
| Braun Roof'n Slopestyle Freestyle Event |
|
In summer 2008, Morzine hosted the very first Urban Roof'n Slopestyle freestyle MTB event. Totally unique in concept, this event doesn't take place at street level, but high up on the roofs of the resort providing freestyle fans with a jaw dropping spectacle. ... see "Avoriaz Urban Roof 'n' Slopestyle" for more |

| Pass'Portes du Soleil (June) |

This mountain biking weekend sees cyclists of all abilities tackling the VTT routes of the Portes du Soleil. There are 3 designated categories to enter: 75km, 50km and 30km as well as a special 'Rando Kids' track. You can start from a number of resorts throughout the region and each trek takes just one day so you can enter on either Saturday or Sunday (or both if you're a bit keen!)
Refreshment points and marshalls ensure that everything runs smoothly so turn up and get muddy!

| Tour de France - July |
|
Every summer France is gripped by the biggest and best cycle race in Europe - Le Tour de France. The Alps have played a large part in the race over the years with the gruelling mountain climbs providing some of the most exciting spectacles of the event. The route changes slightly each year, taking in different towns and villages along the way. Even if the race doesn't pass near to where you are this summer you can guarantee that it will still be avidly watched in bars and cafés around the country with everyone joining in to cheer on the famous yellow jersey! ... see "Le Tour de France" for more |

| Harley Davidson Owners Annual Meet (July) |
If leathers, fumes and interesting facial hair are your thing then you will be in your element this weekend as the annual Harley-Davidson Owners Group (HOG) descends on the town. Don't miss the opportunity to drool over these beautiful machines as approximately 3000 bikes arrive for the weekend.
The HOG currently has about 950 000 members worldwide and about 10% of those are in Europe. Each year, club members are invited to gather together in Morzine to coo over each others bikes, watch/take part in demonstrations, see some cool Harley stunts and round it off with a fashion show (leathers??!!). There is normally a couple of live bands playing as well to mosh and headbang to. |
