Hiking in the French Alps

For those amongst you thinking hiking is a sport for those over a certain age then think again. For someone who is enjoying her first six months of living in Morzine France it has come as a complete surprise at what a great work out it is and how cimg5616much fun you have along the way! When I was first introduced to hiking by my well heeled partner I imagined a hike was going to be a gentle walk through the meadows, taking in the breathtaking views, pretty mountain flowers and if I was really lucky a bit of Marmotte spotting!

Portes du Soleil Summer Multipass 2009

The ski season is over, the seasonaires are all back in the UK and all our ski gear has been packed away until next year. So what now?????

Many people have the misconception that the Portes du Soleil is solely about the winter season and all the fantastic winter sports it has to offer.

View to Mont Blanc

Having lived in Morzine since 1997, we have made it our mission to trek every single trail, and discover all the nooks and crannies hiding in the hillsides!! For those that are wanting the more leisurely walking holiday, then the Portes du Soleil has the added benefit of the lift system being open in the summertime, meaning that you can make use of the many chairlifts on offer to help cover some of the climbs and enable you to travel longer distances!!
