Summer activities high in the sky!

Get a privileged view of the mountain scenery with a bird’s eye view. Sail high over Morzine on a tandem paragliding flight or whizz like a torpedo from peak to peak on a zip-wire suspended 250 metres above the ground; the Fantasticable certainly lives up to its name! More sedate but certainly no less exhilarating are the tree top adventure parks.  See more here.

Sit back and relax in Morzine this summer

Not everyone wants to live life on the edge.

How does a yoga class in the open air or a stroll around the beautiful, turquoise waters of Lac Montriond sound? Happier in or on the water? There’s a dedicated swimming area and paddling pool or hire out a canoe or stand up on a paddle board.
