Where to Stay in Morzine

Where to Base Yourself

Morzine has distinct areas, each with different trade-offs. Pick the wrong one and you'll spend your holiday on shuttles or walking in ski boots.

Editor's Take

First-timers book Morzine thinking 'it's a real town with shops and restaurants, not a soulless purpose-built resort!' which is true. What they miss is that Morzine sits in a valley bottom at 1000m. When the snow is bad, you're taking the gondola up, skiing other parts of Portes du Soleil, and coming back down at 4pm. You're using Morzine as a bedroom, not a ski resort. If snow is good, great. If not, you'd rather be staying higher up in Avoriaz or Les Gets where you can ski from your door even when lower slopes are mud. The 'real town' charm doesn't compensate for icy slopes or spring skiing in December.

Our Top Picks

We've stayed in or inspected every property on this list. These are the ones worth your money — and the ones to avoid.

Our Pick

Hôtel La Bergerie

4★ Hotel · Centre Ville · 400m to Pléney gondola

Proper Alpine charm without the eye-watering price tag. Traditional Savoyard décor done well, excellent spa, great restaurant. You're a 5-minute walk to the gondola which sounds fine until it's -10°C and snowing. Rooms facing the street get road noise — ask for courtyard. Breakfast is outstanding.

Best Value

Hôtel Le Tremplin

3★ Hotel · Centre Ville · 250m to Pléney gondola

Perfectly adequate 3-star that does the job without pretension. Clean rooms, decent breakfast, friendly staff. Also: small rooms, no pool, décor that screams 1995. But you're in the heart of Morzine, close to lifts, and paying half what Bergerie charges.

Splurge

The Farmhouse

Boutique Hotel · Les Gets Road · 1200m to Pléney gondola (shuttle provided)

Converted farmhouse turned boutique hotel. Beautiful design, incredible food, spa feels like a private wellness retreat. You're paying for style and exclusivity. Also: you're 15 minutes from town by shuttle, rooms are small despite the price, and it's trying very hard to be cool.

Budget Pick

Morzine Chalet Apartments

Apartment · Centre Ville · 350m to Pléney gondola

Self-catering apartments in traditional chalet-style buildings scattered around town. Quality varies wildly depending which unit you get — some are recently renovated, others look like your grandparents' attic. Kitchens work, beds are comfortable enough, and you're saving £50-70/night versus hotels. Roll the dice.

Booking Tips

1

Saves Groups save 30-40%

Catered chalets dominate Morzine

British tour operators run 100+ catered chalets here. For groups of 6-10, the maths works: £900-1,200pp/week including accommodation, breakfast, afternoon tea, dinner, and wine. That's £130-170/night all-in. Try matching that with hotels and restaurants.

2

50% cheaper (gamble)

Book early December or late March

Morzine is lower altitude (1000m) so snow reliability suffers. Early December and late March are cheap (50% off peak prices) but risky. We checked 10 years of data: late March had good snow 7/10 seasons. Early December? 4/10. Choose wisely.

3

Beware

Don't stay far from lifts without a car

Morzine is a real town, spread out over 2km. Properties on the outskirts can be 30% cheaper but without a car you're dependent on infrequent shuttle buses. That 'charming converted farmhouse' becomes less charming when you're waiting in the cold for a bus that may not come.

4

60% cheaper off-peak

Avoid UK school holidays for value

Morzine is hugely popular with British families. During UK half-terms prices jump 60% and the resort fills with children. Go literally any other week for better prices, quieter slopes, and the ability to hear yourself think.
