What's on in Morzine This Summer

Harley Days really has to be experienced to be believed! The bi-annual gathering of riders and rockers transforms Morzine with exhibitions, stalls, free concerts, and more motorbikes and leathers than you can imagine! Find all the details on the official website here.

With the final night coinciding with Bastille Day (France’s national holiday), expect 2024’s event to be bigger and crazier than ever.

The perfect antidote to Harley Days, Morzine’s Nature Festival is all about stepping back, relaxing, and reconnecting to the nature on our doorstep.

A programme full of events including yoga and sophrology sessions, wellness workshops, hikes and more will be posted on the Morzine-Avoriaz Tourist Office website nearer the time.

A trail running weekend across the mountains around Les Gets, with distances for everyone whether you're new to trail running or a seasoned pro!

For full details of the event including courses and registration information, visit the Trail des Gets website.

From the 21st of July until the 28th July each of the legendary cols around Morzine will be traffic-free between 8 am and 11.30 am! 

Starting with the Col de Joux Plane on July 21st, then Col de la Joux Verte, Col du Corbier, Grand Taillet, Col de l'Encrenaz, the climb to Mont Chéry, the climb to Graydon, and finishing with the Col de la Ramaz on July 28st.

A highlight of the summer for cyclists! Details on the Morzine-Avoriaz Tourist Office site.

BeVenturesome's Adventure Holiday Club is an outdoor-based Kids Club running in Morzine during the school holidays. Ideal for kids aged 8-13, the club runs in the mornings, giving parents a bit of time to themselves and kids the chance to explore Morzine while making some new friends. Meet up at lunchtime then spend the afternoons together. Perfect!

Even better - More Mountain guests get a 15% discount on either week. Visit BeVenturesome's website for more details about the Club and contact us directly for the discount code!

For two weeks every summer, the centre of Morzine transforms into the Royaume des Marmots (Kingdom of the Marmots), with free activities for kids and families taking place every day between 10am and 7pm.

What makes the best summer holiday destination, the beach or the mountains? Well you don't need to compromise because at the start of August, the beach comes to Morzine!

Complete with sand and deckchairs, there are usually a number of other fun workshops and activities that take place over the two days.

Contact the Morzine-Avoriaz Tourist Office for details.

The annual Fête du Lac at Lac de Montriond is a firework show like nothing you've ever seen! Take a blanket and a picnic, and settle in for the light and music spectacle ending with an incredible firework display against the stunning backdrop of the Lac de Montriond cliffs.

This year's theme is the Olympics, and after the fireworks there'll be a DJ playing into the early hours!

A week long dance festival in the heart of Avoriaz with sessions for all abilities, covering Salsa / Bachata, Kizomba, Rock / Swing, WCS, and Argentine Tango.

You'll find the full event programme, costs and how to book on the Avoriaz website. 

Unfortunately the Montriond Morzine Avoriaz (MMA) Triathlon has been cancelled for 2024 however why not try your own mini-triathlon based around Lac du Montriond?

Swim across the lake, cycle up to Ardent and back (or continue up to the Goat Village in Linderets if you fancy more of a challenge), and finish with a lap or two around the lake. 

Then celebrate with a well-deserved drink at Hotel du Lac! 

Another alternative is Le Triathlon international du Lac d’Annecy taking place 29 - 30 June. Annecy is easily within striking distance of Morzine and a perfect day trip destination.
