Morzine is a pleasant small town, with a good choice of bars and restaurants. The locals all seemed extremely friendly and helpful. Skiing wise, it is a fantastic area with a good lift network. The pistes were quiet while I was there (31/1/10-6/2/10), with hardly any queues for the lifts and superb snow conditions. A real gem.

I'm French, and with my family we have a chalet in Morzine. Of course, has you have already read in these comments, it's a fantastic place for skiing, good snow and a very huge domain. People of the area are very nice with tourists. But I would like to point out a problem... Why UK people are so unpleasant? Did you have a minimum of education? Why is so difficult for you to learn some basic words as : Bonjour, merci, etc...? Why on lift queue you don't take care about other people? Maybe because you bring a lot of money or because you have buy a lot of flats... In my point of view, you have to feel that you are invited, and as a good guest, your behaviour has to be very thankful & nice. For example, after ski, in town centre, many people who are drunk & speaking loud, are speaking in English. Of course, this comment is not general for all people from UK.

Morzine is a very pretty village, both summer and winter. It is very easy to ski both Morzine/Les Gets and then to scoot up to Avoriaz on the gondola, or on the bus or car to Ardent, straight into Les Lindarets. In a day it is possible to ski from Morzine and go into Switzerland, over to Morgins, Torgon, Chatel and back, giving vast amounts of skiing and if the snow is good, gets you away from any potential crowds at peak times. Last year had a largely queue free half-term by getting away from the obvious centres, in amazing snow. Super restaurants and bars, with the addition of the new wine bar in the centre during the summer of 2009, run by the owners of the La Chamade opposite. Super place to meet after skiing. Super atmosphere in the summer with walkers and mountain bikers etc, giving a very different feel to the winter weeks. Great.

Just back from 5 days in Morzine and a fantastic stay with Treeline Chalet's run by Duncan and Amy. They really made every effort to make the stay as enjoyable as possible; food and chalet location were first class. Carrying on from the 3V's v's PDS debate, I would pitch PDS above 3V everytime. I've been to 3V twice and now fourth time in PDS and I've got to say I'm never let down in PDS especially Morzine itself. Great "reasonably priced" drinking, superb setting, village has authentic character, snow fall has always been better than 3V (maybe timing) and easy access from Geneva. Not a Russian in sight! Keep it real....

Morzine/Avoriaz has to be one of the most agreeable and pleasant places in - as J Clarkson would say - The World. It has good slopes for beginners, mediocre and experts. It has a lot going for it, we (12) go there every year and never tire of it. A 'boys weekend' with a difference, set off from HRW at an unearthly hour in the a.m. and are on the piste - Really! - by 12.00 all kitted out with a pass in hand. First day, Les Gets and then on to Avoriaz (pronounced Avoria, for you guys who don't know). Us oldies get a real good deal here with points collected on our passes and good discounts for the over 60's we're quids in! Staying at Le Carlina, only 50 metres away from Pleny lift, eating and drinking all over. The American Bar-b-que in Avoriaz has a double burger and chip sandwich (with salad) to die for - and you probably would if you hadn't been on the sno park all morning, burning it off! I love it almost as much as my family and wouldn't mind getting a winter job here, serving bar or waiting tables, making beds and stuff, just to ski the whole place over and over, it's that much fun. I don't know, Ft Lauderdale or Morzine? What a choice!

Just got back from spending Christmas with the family (of 11) in Morzine. This was my first time in the resort (I usually go to the 3V but the family wanted somewhere for the grandparents (non-skiers). The town was plenty big enough for them to wander around all day. I can honestly say I was impressed. It took a bit of getting used to, the town is much bigger than I thought and the layout and bus routes had me fooled for a while, but once you get your barings getting around between ski-lifts on the free buses is very easy (don't ask the bus drivers too much as anything in English is a challenge). Dan our chalet host gave us a lift in the morning, and we either started at the Super-Morzine bubble and skied over to Avoriaz or went on the bus to the Prodain Telecabin and out to the rest of the PdS. Only went to the Nyon once but this was because we were on the wrong bus (see earlier comment re bus drivers' English) The skiing at Morzine easily compares to the 3V and I can see why people love it. The resort is low at 1000m, but even this early in the season there was always snow at the top of the first lifts and there are plenty of snow cannons to get you back home OK. The snow higher up was always perfect. We did stay on the Morzine/Les Gets ski area for one day, although this is plenty for first timers or people with young families - would suggest that this is not enough for experienced skiers and that you should invest in a full PdS pass. I stayed in Chalet Robin with moremountain.com - they really looked after us - first class. Highlights at Morzine: Mutzig at Bar Robinsons; friendly welcome and sport on TV at The Dixie Bar; fantastic home cooking by Ruth in Chalet Robin. Lowlights: Piste maps are not good compared to the 3V (lifts can go down and pistes can go up - actually they can't but the maps say they do), but there are good signs out there to point you in the general direction of where you want to go. Being hyper-critical I would have to say the town is a bit big, but once you get used to it it really isn't bad at all, you just need to invest some time early on in finding your way around, then everything is quite easy. I still love the 3V, but I'll be back to ski the rest of PdS one day as there's plenty more to go at.

Don't tell them Morzine is great (which it is), we have a place here too. Tell them its horrible, then they can go to Val with all the other horrible people and let us normal people ski and enjoy this fantastic place all to ourselves. Coming out again in the Spring with my 4.5 year old son who has been skiing since he was two and a bit!

I live in Morzine but work in UK. Its a fantastic place to ski. There's been loads of precipitation early 2009/10 and so up on Avoriaz the snow is good. But its been raining below 1800 so there's no snow left down to the village of Morzine itself. Need snow low down very badly. It's the same across the Alps so go high ... come to Morzine and ski Avoriaz.

Morzine - what a fantastic old Alpine town with things for all types to enjoy. Great Bars, restaurants, clubs and cafes - and the shopping is great too. A gateway to a ski area that, in my view, is the best in Europe for all levels. Take a bit of time to study the Porte Du Soleil ski map and you will find hidden gems of ski runs. Try La Grande Terche for a day. go over to Switzerland and ski the legs off your self. We stayed in the centre of town in a modern chalet apartment- morzineskichalets. We stayed in an apartment called Slemish. It was fabulous - a modern home from home and the staff were very helpful. They organised the whole thing from ski school to ski passes, transfers and even meals on the odd night that we could pre book (very handy after a hard day on the slopes) The ESF ski schools for our kids are brilliant.

Just returned from skiing in Morzine. Snow fantastic, area huge. Can highly recommend Chalet Symphony run by Robin and Alex of Savoie Flair. Food and facilities brilliant; new hot tub great after a day on the piste. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. This is a gem of a place. Have no doubt you will have a fantastic time here.
