The Best Hotels in Morzine, France for Every Traveller

The Alpen Roc is a central Morzine hotel, 200m (655ft) from the Super Morzine lift and 400m (1,310ft) from the Pléney gondola. Their rooms mix old-fashioned alpine decor with modern, trendy wood furnishings, and their Alpen restaurant is a casual place to try local favourites (Savoyard fondue followed by a digestif of génépi). There’s a hot tub, all important for restoring those legs, and a covered swimming pool.

Hotel des Dromonts is as unique a hotel as you’ll find in the French Alps. The wooden architecture stacks upwards at chaotic angles, like something out of a sci-fi film. Indeed, Steven Spielberg and David Lynch are amongst its past guests, when they came to town for the Avoriaz Fantasy Film Festival. Important note – the hotel is in Avoriaz rather than Morzine, but easily connects to Morzine via lifts. The decor is quirky with a hippie feel.

Pierre & Vacances is a reliable go-to for ski accommodation all over France. The L’Amara is actually in Avoriaz, but has huge views out over the Morzine valley. It’s ski-in, ski-out, and the Deep Nature Spa has an indoor heated pool and outdoor hot tub, so you can trace those ridgelines while resting weary muscles. The building is an enormous wooden structure, which cuts a beautiful shape, especially from further up the slopes, with the craggy, snowy backdrop.

Fleur des Neiges is at the bottom of the Pléney ski slope for easy accessibility to the slopes. Rooms are warmly lit and soundproofed with balconies that open onto the mountains. There’s an outdoor heated swimming pool and sauna; meanwhile, back in the lounge, armchairs in front of a fireplace are waiting for you to curl up in. In the morning, scoff a big breakfast of fresh French bread and cheese before hitting the slopes. By nightfall, you’ll be ready for the all-inclusive three-course dinner in the hotel restaurant.
