Well-known for it’s incredible mountain bike trails and road biking routes, we have compiled our top ten OTHER activities for families, children and adults alike to enjoy in Morzine.

1- Hiking– there’s so many fabulous trails to explore, ranging from flat walks along the Dereches river trail and around Lac Montriond, to steep climbs to the top of Morzine’s peaks taking in stunning views of the surrounding areas. Your multipass allows access to the lift network so even children and those less inclined to walk up a vertical slope can enjoy the landscape.

2- Pony riding– You can hire out a small pony for your children to ride in the Dereches park, just past the children’s playground, so they can enjoy an amble along by the river.

3- Indiana Adventures low-ropes course– There are a few different courses for children (and adults) to access, so you can swing through the trees above the river! The courses are height dependent but children as young as 3 can have a tree-top adventure. For older children head to Nyon where there is a similar set up with more challenging courses.

4- Swimming Pool– Morzine boasts an Olympic size outdoor swimming pool, complete with a shallower pool for children and a children’s play area, plus access to the normal indoor pool area.
