The village of Morzine / Avoriaz is situated in the heart of the Chablais moutains, between the lower peaks of the Jura and the higher peaks of the Mont-Blanc range, near the Swiss border.
By road,
Morzine lies 25 miles from lake Geneva and 40 miles from Chamonix.
The
village nestles between two valleys : the vallon des Ardoisières (slate valley) and the
vallée de la Manche.
The Name Morzine is of Germanic origin, derived from Morgen or Rising sun.
