The Multi Pass is similar to a winter ski pass and gives guests access to 4 swimming pools, 2 lakes, 25 chairlifts and cablecars for pedestrians, 9 tennis courts, in resort buses and trains, 2 ice rinks & 5 tourist attractions all for only €1 a day. This means you can get on a chairlift for a mountain hike in the morning, then have a dip in the pool finished off with a game of tennis in the afternoon… all for just €1!!

The Dereches Park

The Dereches park around the meandering river Dranse is really a fantastic area for all the family and is just by the sports hall below the village centre. It can be either a beautiful walk or family bike ride as its flat with no hills. It’s actually a fitness circuit with numerous bridges over the river to make it as short or as long as you like with lots of training spots for the kids to jump and do exercises.

Activities at the Dereches Park

Riding centre

There is a great riding centre here, so as a family you could go out on the horses with an instructor to experience the park and beyond from this angle or take out a pony for the children and wander around this way.

High Ropes Indiana Park

• Discounted with the Multi Pass when you book in advance

An acrobatic aerial adventure in the trees, with rope bridges, zip wires and rope ladders. There is a brilliant small circuit for the little ones from 2 years old where they are harnessed in and you take them round. On the older circuit there are 4 levels of difficulty, blue, red, black and long zipwires. A great adrenalin activity to suit the ages of all the family.

Children’s outdoor play area and farm

There is a great outdoor play area where the children can enjoy themselves and in the summer months there is the small farm which is free to visit.

As you can see Morzine is a great place for all the family. All you need now is a great place to stay. Chalet Morzine is perfect for your family summer activity holiday
