Morzine is perfectly situated should you wish to fly or drive as it is one of the closest and easily reached alpine resorts
from the UK. Driving to the resort could never be easier. Your best
choice for ferry crossing is Dover - Calais; from there you can take the
Auto route motorway to within 20 miles of Morzine, completing the
530-mile journey in 8-9 hours. You will need to pay two road tolls
which together amount to approx £38 (60 Euros).
You can cross the channel by ferry or
Euro tunnel.

Thonon/Lake Geneva
direction (slightly slower route but more scenic)

the airport follow signs to Geneva centre the route through is a bit
slow as there are lots of traffic lights but once out the other side it
is usually clear. As you come to the bridge and the 'famous' fountain
follow signs to Evian/Thonon (keep to far left lane over the bridge).
The road then follows the lake all the way to Thonon-Les-Bains here you
follow 'Toutes Directions' it takes you around the back of the town

the road up the mountain. After approximately 30 minutes you will pass
through a small village St Jean D'Aulps after which you will shortly see
a sign and turning for Essert Romand and La Cote D'Arbroz on the right
hand side. Follow the road through the village past the bar La Petite
