The World of Morz’na 28th – 30th July

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010


Morzine is playing host to something that has never been seen before. A festival where imagination becomes reality. The World of Morz’na is a magical festival focused on all things elfish, fairy-eaque and well… just plain magical. From 28th – 30th July you will find small huts appears in the centre of Morzine where children are invited to visit magic workshops, makeup artists, wood carvers, musicians and jugglers. Storytellers will tell of Elvish legend; Jugglers and acrobats, horses, ponies and unicorns will mingle with stone carvers musicians. I believe there will even be magical tours in the forest and an enchanted assault course for the little ones to navigate.

Les Gets fait son Farwest 24th and 25th July 2010

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

The Les Gets fait son Farwest is a festival organised to celebrate Western Horse Riding disciplines and all things Western. With Barrel racing, pole bending, a horse show and live Country music (with western dance) you would be forgiven for thinking you are in Arizona, USA. However Les Gets, and the Portes du Soleil, are incredibly proud of their equestrian facilities with horse riding one of the most popular summertime activities.  For more information on the Les Get event please visit their facebook page. It’s the first event of its kind and is definitely worthy of our support.

Tour de France arrives in Avoriaz

Monday, July 12th, 2010

11th July – 13th July 2010 – Morzine

Team Radio Shack, Lance Armstrong’s cycling team, arrived in Morzine a few weeks ago to commence altitude training in preparation for the Tour de France. Lance Armstrong is famous for battling and beating testicular cancer and for winning the Tour de France a record-breaking seven consecutive years. However Lance got no preferential treatment from the local residents in the Portes du Soleil, with local cows blocking his route while he was out training. Perhaps they aren’t impressed by a seven time Tour winning superhero.

His cycling team, Team Radioshack, are undertaking a series of cycling events all across the world and The Tour de France is one of them. Morzine and Avoriaz have often been favourite stages for the cyclists who will be racing up from Station des Rousses into Morzine on Sunday 11th July. They then have one rest day before continuing on from Morzine town centre to Saint Jean de Maurinenne on Tuesday 13th July.
