Morzine: So Much More Than Just The Ski Slopes

Skiing in Morzine is a true delight for snow enthusiasts that travel to the Rhone-Alpes region in eastern France to take on the slopes. The true beauty of the resort is that when the sun goes down, the fun has merely begun! Visitors can simply slip off their ski boots and slide on their dancing shoes as delectable dining, exciting entertainment and amazing aprs-ski opportunities await. It can be a bit tricky to get around town so visitors should determine in which area they would like to be when selecting a chalet. Morzine does have an extensive network of bus routes, but it is recommended for those looking to ski and soak up some entertainment to stay in or near the centre of town.

Guide to Gastronomy

Chalet Philibert Restaurant: Recommended in the Michelin, Hubert and Pudlowski food guides, this restaurant serves a creative and refined menu utilising the best local ingredients. The ever-changing menu dazzles guests with delights such as scallops and saffron tempura, pork filet with Japanese wasabi and wild sea bass. The wood and stone dcor associated with the Savoie region is present throughout the restaurant creating an authentic experience, and the open log fire adds to the traditional and cosy ambiance.

Le Nabor Restaurant: This phenomenal restaurant specialises in lumberjacks soup, homemade quiche, vegetarian cooking and Foie Gras. It is without a doubt worth checking out if you are staying in a nearby chalet. Morzine has a variety of excellent restaurants, but Le Nabor truly emphasises rustic mountain cooking with food designed to keep you warm and cosy in winter and it comes highly recommended by locals and tourists alike.

After returning from a day on the slopes, most skiers love nothing better than to venture out to the local bars near their chalet. Morzine has a great selection of venues to enjoy a beverage and perhaps exchange tales of the day over a drink or two. The area also has great nightclubs for those who have the stamina to party the night away and still get up to hit the pistes in the morning.

Some of the best places are The Tibetan Bar, Dixie Bar, Hotel Le Tremplin and Coup de Coeur.

Others include Le Rhodes. For individuals seeking a more relaxed aprs-ski experience, Le Rhodes is perfect. With comfortable sofas, well-priced beer and relaxing music, this bar typically draws in large crowds. Opera Nightclub is another popular venue. If you want to carry on partying into the early morning hours, Opera nightclub is the perfect place to do so, with a lively atmosphere, modern dcor and some of the worlds best DJs spinning the most current songs. Opera nightclub is situated on Bar Street, which is not far from any centrally located chalet. Morzine does have other nightclubs, but Opera is known as the place to see and be seen.
