Geneva to Morzine Transfer

Modern meets traditional in Morzine

Morzine village is spread out along two sides of a valley, with a mix of modern areas and the old village centre. Lifts run from both sides for skiing and boarding in winter and for mountain biking and walkers in the summer, making it the perfect all year round resort for active types.

The skiing in Morzine and neighbouring Les Gets is excellent for getting your ‘ski legs’. Once you’ve found them, head over to sister resort Avoriaz, the gateway to exploring the whole of the vast Portes du Soleil area that stretches across France and Switzerland. In a week of skiing you could easily do different pistes every single day!

Morzine in the summer

With over 650km of mountain bike trails plus freestyle and dirt parks, Morzine is paradise on two wheels in summer. The resort is well-organised for bikers in the summer months, with easy to use lifts to take your bike up, good value lift passes and jet washers to hose down your bike at the end of the a good day of riding.

Mountain Drop-offs is also totally geared up to summertime in Morzine, with all transfer buses operating out of Geneva Airport offering bike carriage (please book this service in advance).

Morzine’s great in-resort feel

Back at resort level, Morzine has long been a favourite destination for British holidaymakers who’ll feel at home in the many English-owned bars and restaurants in town. If you’d prefer to be immerse yourself in local life, there are lots of restaurants and bars offering Savoyard fair. We’re talking a raclette with local reblochon cheese, followed by a quick Genepy digestif or full strength Mutzig. And after you’ve eaten, you’ll find that out of all the Portes du Soleil resorts, Morzine has the most vibrant apres-ski and night life.

And with so much apres-ski and partying on offer in Morzine, we can highly recommend abandoning the idea of a hire car from the airport. After all, who wants to wake up feeling a little ‘tired and emotional’ and having to dig out the car and then drive all the way back to Geneva Airport? Much easier to let the transfer bus take the strain all the way from Morzine to departures!

All-action Morzine

Active types will absolutely love Morzine as there is so much to do. As well as the skiing, boarding and biking, there are lots of unusual activities that’ll make your time in Morzine even more memorable. Here are some ideas that are faves with our Mountain Drop-offs transfer team:

Snowmobile trek

Head out on a thrilling night time snowmobile trek around Avoriaz and the Morzine valley, leaving from snowscoot HQ, right next to the day skiers outside car park right at the entrance to car-free Avoriaz. It’s a little wooden chalet next to the La Chapelle drag lift. You can drive a snowmobile, or ride as a passenger, heading along the moonlit trails and pistes for a 20km adventure once the sun sets.

Ice diving

Once the water has frozen, you can try ice diving at Montriond lake during the winter season. Amazingly, you don’t even need to have scuba diving experience to do this daredevil activity. Your fully qualified instructor will show you an wonderful underwater winter wonderland just outside Morzine village.

Mountain bike weekend

Morzine and mountain biking go hand-in-hand and no more so than during the celebrated Pass’Portes du Soleil mountain bike weekend. This is where hundreds of visitors on two wheels (or even on foot) enjoy the specially selected mountain itineraries covering Morzine, Avoriaz, Les Gets and beyond. Held every year over the last weekend in June, it certainly marks the start of the biking season in style.

Fishing

Try catching your supper with a day out fishing in the summer season. There are some gorgeous places to cast your line around Morzine including Montriond lake, the plan du Rocher lake, or on the banks of the River Dranse.
