Morzine-Avoriaz: Responsible Tourism, New Refuges, and 2026-2027 Ski Season Dates

In 2021, the French Alps resort of Morzine-Avoriaz earned the "Flocon vert" designation for its commitment to sustainable tourism. Situated at an elevation of 1,000 meters, it boasts a lively village atmosphere alongside swift access to high-altitude skiing. This ski area has been a venue for Alpine Ski World Cup competitions and has developed talents such as Oscar Mandin and Valentin Delluc. The Chamossière sector includes a designated freeride zone, while the "1000D" run features a vertical drop of 1,000 meters. Highlights include Chemin des Zouzous and Eagle Park, and the AlpinExpress Pass encourages eco-friendly vacations. Winter itinerancy is enhanced with paths leading to three winter refuges. The provisional opening dates for winter 2026-2027 are Avoriaz (Dec 11, 2026 - Apr 18, 2027) and Pléney-Nyon-Chamossière (Dec 19, 2026 - Apr 4, 2027).
