Ski
The village is closely linked to its neighbour Avoriaz in that they function as linked skiing centres during the winter season. The two resorts are included in the Portes du Soleil ski area, which includes both French and Swiss villages. The resort also has a bustling summer timetable including mountain biking, golf, walking and caving amongst others.
Tour de France
Morzine was the finale of the first mountain stage in the 2003 Tour de France. Stage 7's yellow and checked jerseys were awarded to Richard Virenque of France's Quick Step-Davitamon team.
Transportation
