Morzine

Navigation

Introduction

Morzine is a long-established alpine town surrounded on all sides by tall mountains, directly below the popular resort of Avoriaz. Unlike many purpose-built French resorts (including Avoriaz), it still holds an alpine charm.

Located at 1,000 metres (3,300 feet), temperature is crucial to this resort as snow can turn to rain fairly quickly. With a good snowfall, however, Morzine and the nearby resort of Les Gets will suffice most snowboarders.

The terrain varies from the long, wide, tree-lined slopes of Morzine, to a board park in Les Gets, to the more challenging slopes of Mont Cherry and Chammossiere.

This year I have decided to step away from the British team so I can live in Morzine, ride lots of powder and hopefully film a video part
