The Multi Pass scheme is only open to guests staying at participating accommodations providers and we are delighted to confirm that Chalet La Boite a Musique is one of those providers!
Morzine is ideally positioned to take advantage of the vast Portes du Soleil ski area in which it sits. Two telecabines leave the town in opposite directions, one towards the charming and more gentle slopes of Pleney, Les Gets and beyond; the other to the higher slopes of Avoriaz, Chatel and the Swiss villages on the same domain.
In total, the Portes du Soleil offers over 600km of pistes, connecting 12 different resorts across France and Switzerland. The vast ski area ranges from the quiet nursery slopes of Morzine to the infamous ‘Wall’ between Avoriaz and Les Crossets. The Portes du Soleil really does cater for all abilities.
Outside of skiing there are many winter activities available such as tobogganing, ice skating, snow shoeing as well as local tours of the village heritage sites. The town also has an exceptional swimming pool complex with three indoor and three outdoor (Summer only) pools for everyone to enjoy.
