Day trips from Morzine

If you are driving out to Morzine this summer, why not explore some of the gorgeous surrounding towns. Here are some of our favourite places to visit, all easily accessed from Morzine for a lovely day out with friends or family…

Annecy

Annecy is known as the Venice of the Alps with its medieval old town with a host of canals, bridges and pretty cobbled streets. The town sits on a spectacular glacial lake and it’s crystal-clear waters are perfect for swimming and enjoying water sports. We’d recommend hopping on your bike and enjoying a 40km cycle around the lake – it’s flat and the perfect break from Morzine’s cols!

Evian

Made famous by the mineral water brand, the spa town of Evian is located on the edge of Lac Leman, with views of nearby Switzerland. It’s perfect for a lovely stroll along the lake on a sunny day, admiring the charming heritage buildings and enjoying a taste of the water fresh from the ‘Source Cachat’ spring.

Yvoire

This picturesque medieval town, home to a castle and fortified gateways, sits on Lac Leman. Once you’ve meandered through the quaint streets and sampled some excellent ice-cream or one of the many lakeside restaurants for an al fresco lunch, hop on a paddle-steamer boat to get a closer view of the towns and villages perched on the lake.
