Morzine in his winter suit

Morzine, the Portes du Soleil ... Surrounded by valleys and virgin peaks that winter dresses in a wild and secret coat, and that only the practice of snowshoeing makes accessible.
It's up to us, the page is blank and we reinvent the path as we wish. Wide snow-capped mountain pastures, exceptional panoramas on Mont-Blanc, discovery of the fauna, toboggan-style descents... There's always something going on!
The days end in our cottage in Biot, warm welcome, careful catering and heart of village atmosphere.
