Airport Transfers from Geneva to Morzine

Perhaps one of the most practical advantages of Morzine, and in fact many of the resorts in the Portes du Soleil, is their short transfer times.

It take just over 1 hour to get from Geneva to Morzine by car, a huge improvement on the transfer times of around 4 hours for many other resorts in the Alpes. With EasyJet running such an excellent service from 11 UK airports there are few resorts as accessible as Morzine, leaving you much more time to have fun!

There is, of course, a choice on how you transfer from the airport to Morzine. You can hire a car, book a seat on the coach service that runs from the airport to the centre of Morzine during the winter months or book with one of the local minibuses to meet you off your flight.

In the winter months a coach service runs from Geneva to the centre of Morzine however, from recollection this doesn't offer any advantage in price and you are then left with the hassle of getting yourself and your luggage from the Office du Touriseme in the centre of town to your apartment or chalet.

In my opinion book a minibus transfer every time. They usually meet you in the Arrivals hall at Geneva International Airport, they can park very close by in the short term car park and, best of all, they drop you right outside your apartment - it couldn't be easier!

Morzine - A Brief Overview

Nestling in the Dranse valley, in the heart of the Portes du Soleil ski region, Morzine is a fabulous mix of old Savoyard charm and modern ski-ing convenience. Morzine was originally a farming and slate mining town before it metamorphosed into a ski resort in the latter half of the last century. The resort's first cable car was introduced in 1934 but this was almost exclusively used by hikers - its use for ski-ing came much later.

With the advent of Avoriaz in the 1960s, Morzine's ski-ing appeal grew and it hasn't looked back. With transfers taking just over an hour from Geneva Airport, there aren't many more easily accessible ski resorts.

Boasting 650km of pistes linking 12 ski resorts, from both sides of the French-Swiss border, ski-ing to Switzerland for lunch is quite an easy ask, just don't forget your passport! More adventurous skiers can ski the famous ‘Circuit’ taking in many of the resorts in the Portes du Soleil in one day's hard ski-ing.

One of the wonderful things about Morzine is that it has as much, if not more, appeal in the summer months as it does in the ski-ing season. In the winter there's ski-ing, ice-skating, hiking, husky sledging but in the summer you can go mountain biking, hiking, white water rafting, climbing, parapenting or simply relaxing in the fabulous swimming pool complex.

With a wide range of restaurants and bars the evenings are well catered for also. From arguably the best burgers I've ever tasted at 'The Burger Place' to delicious Savoyard fare in L'Etale and La Combe a Zorre all tastes and budgets are catered for.
