Travelling to, from and around Morzine is a fairly straightforward affair, with easy access from Geneva airport via motorway and free public transport around town once you arrive. Several free and 'pay-and-display' carparks are available; or you could always take the train (nearest stations are Cluses and Thonon-les-Bains at about 30km from the resort), sit back and enjoy the journey!

Geneva (90km) is the nearest airport to Morzine, followed by Chambéry (123km) and Lyon Saint-Exupéry or Grenoble (both around 210km). There are regular bus links from Geneva, the bus station is well-signposted from the airport and you can buy tickets on board or online. The journey takes around 2h30, depending on weather. A transfer would be the quicker option, and may work out cheaper. The other airports are not so straightforward and may require a number of changes.
