| Maps & Timetables for Morzine |
Situated about an hour and a half from Geneva, Avoriaz and Morzine are the main areas of the French side of the Portes du Soleil area. Morzine was originally al small alpine farming village, and it has continued to develop into a modern alpine village whilst maintaining its village feel and sense of tradition.
Morzine is the largest settlement of Les Portes du Soleil, and is home to approximately 3000 residents. Although Morzine is at a relatively low 900 metres, a network of lifts reaches the panoramic Chamossière at 1800 mteres. And Avoriaz, at 2100 metres,is accesible using the lift system, or is a 20 minute car ride away. Free shuttles now connect the center of Morzine with all the lift systems.
To help you get your bearings, in this section you will find area maps showing you the layout of the land, detailed street maps, activity area maps, and lift & piste maps for the whole area. |

| Public Transport in Morzine |
Morzine benefits from free regular shuttle buses and a little train that serve the centre and stop at the major ski-lifts. There is also a frequent free shuttle between Super Morzine and Le Pleney cable cars and a less regular service to neighbouring resorts that share the same ski-pass.
For a change of pace you could always hop on the horse and cart sightseeing tour 'La Caleche' next to the Tourist Office.
The bus station (Gare Routiere) can be found in College near to the Place du Marche; public buses run to Cluses and its mainline railway station with TGV connections. Thonon les Bains and Cluses are the closest train stations to Morzine. Find out timetables and prices from the SNCF on the link below.
There is also a public bus that runs fairly regularly from Geneva airport. It is well signposted from the terminal and takes about 2.5 hours to get to the resort, maybe longer in the busier months. You can buy a return ticket once you arrive or book over the phone or Internet. However, prices are higher than private transfers and will take longer.
