In Morzine, you can also discover the mountains away from the slopes. Renting a snowshoe in Morzine lets you explore fir forests, skirt frozen rivers and enjoy the rare silence, punctuated by the crunch of snow. It's the ideal activity for the whole family to enjoy, whether for a gentle morning or a long, panoramic loop.

There's no shortage of itineraries. Around Lac de Montriond, the terrain is gentle and the cliffs offer an impressive backdrop. In the Vallée de la Manche, you can climb up to the Lac des Mines d'Or, which is often magical after a snowfall. In fine weather, the Col de Joux Plane area offers grandiose views, sometimes as far as Mont Blanc. Closer to the village, the Nyon waterfall is a nice target for a short outing.
