High in the French Alps is the postcard pretty township of Morzine, the views across the river gorge with its pretty chalets make this destination special. Excellent winter skiing at the resort of Avoriaz with wooded slopes to compensate for any poor conditions gives way to the beauty of summer with its mountain walks, biking and caving.
With borders to both Italy and Switzerland the French Alps have a multicultural feel with influences from all three countries apparent. Ideal for family holidays with its child friendly slopes, it is only a short distance to the more challenging slopes of the neighbouring resorts.
