Walking in total security
For your security…
The mountains are a natural setting: there are always risks. There are many different treks that are not
technically difficult so don’t follow dangerous routes.
You walk at your own responsibility: you must be able to rescue yourselves
and those with you. Choose a route within your capabilities and respect the
environment: bring back all your rubbish and keep to the marked paths.
Be prudent before setting off…
• Tell someone (family, host) of your planned route and the time you expect to return.
•Make sure you are well-equipped: good walking boots (even for children), warm
clothes (it could be windy and cold at altitude), hat and sunglasses, food and drink. | |

 Snowshoeing - SNOWSHOEING IN MORZINE IS AN ENJOYABLE WAY TO ESCAPE FROM THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF THE PISTES AND YET STILL DISCOVER THE HIDDEN GEM MORZINE HAS TO OFFER. You can either set out on your own, or join a group - there are a number of local companies that organise guided snowshoe adventures. Maps can also be found at the Tourist Office and the more popular trails are well marked. This is a perfect activity for any weather conditions, non-skiers; walkers and nature lovers. Don't forget to take an extra bar of chocolate and wear comfortable boots. Most importantly, enjoy yourself. |
Husky / dog sleigh rides are available in Morzine / Avoriaz. Be in charge of your own sled and team pack of husky dogs, driving them along forest paths. To make your dogs stop and start (you shout "mush!"). Rides set off following the guide’s team. Your huskies want to keep up with the pack leader, so the next hour is a breathless scramble to keep the sled the correct way up, attempting to control your speed downhill & and generally hanging on for dear life. For the less adventurous there is also a package where you just in the sled and the guide does controls the crazy dogs for you. | |
Organised snowmobile rides are available in Morzine / avoriaz. Quickly becoming one of the most popular evening winter sports around, Skidooing is just one of those activities you have to experience at some point of your stay. You can ride alone or with a passenger and will be taught the basics from a guide before setting out on either a 10km or 20km ride. Don't forget to wrap up warmly especially if you go in the chilly months, and bring goggles if there is powder. | |
