The Ultimate Guide - The Edge believe in making your whole trip fun, not just the action on the slopes.
Here are some personal recommendations.
The traditional Haute Savoie village of Morzine is right in the heart of the Portes du Soleil ski area which links 14 ski resorts in France and Switzerland. The village has kept its traditional charm with typical Savoyard architecture.
Things to do...
(apart from ski and snowboard of course!)
Shopping – you’ll find an array of shops selling local handmade goods, Savoyarde meats and cheeses, as well as fashion boutiques and sports stores.
Restaurants – more than enough to keep the hunger at bay! Menus include traditional food such as raclette and fondue and dishes more closer to home.
You might want to know where some of the best restaurants are in town.. here's my short list of places I frequent, where I have always had great food and dining experiences.
If you visit one, make sure you let them know that 'Paul, from The Edge Snowsports' sent you..
(There is normally something in it for you!)
