Wondering what to do this Christmas and New Year? The festive season in the snowy Alps is always magical and every year there is some sort of celebration in resort to mark the occasion. Christmas is a far less commercial event in France than in the UK and so you won’t find things publicised for months in advance - but you can always be sure of a glass of vin chaud (mulled wine), a few carols and perhaps the odd firework or two!
Many of the restaurants will put on a special festive menu with champagne and traditional French dishes, so book in advance if you want to treat yourself to a meal out. Likewise, planning ahead is advised if you have your heart set on ringing in the New Year in a particular bar or club – many of them are ticket-only, so enquire in advance to avoid disappointment!
The week leading up to Christmas sees Morzine sparkling with Christmas cheer! The lights are up throughout resort and the fun includes street parades, tasty Christmas treats and children’s entertainment. Christmas Eve is a special night when well-behaved children might just catch a glimpse of Father Christmas outside the Tourist Office!
Morzine welcomes in the New Year with music parades, vin chaud at the foot of the pistes, a torch lit descent and a spectacular firework display.
