In addition to activities listed on the in resort and on the mountain pages please find below more activities especially suited to younger children under 5 years of age.

Walks

Now thanks to the Multi Pass there are a lot more high level walks accessible to families as you can use the telcabines & chairlifts up and down the mountain, all for only 1 euro a day!

Great views, access to good restaurants & easy walking are all accessible from Mont Chery telecabine in Les Gets, and Supermorzine and Pleney telecabines in Morzine. Ideal for family walks is the river walk, "Les Dereches" in Morzine passing by a play park, horse riding centre, fitness trail, and then an animal farm which has chickens, rabbits, donkeys, goats & sheep, entry is free and children can pet the animals.

Pony & Donkey Rides

A great favourite with the under 5s is going for a ride on a Shetland (or Alpine equivalent) pony or donkey. Pony rides are available for around Lake Montriond, along the Dereches river beside the equestrian centre in Morzine or at the swimming lake in Les Gets. Donkey rides are also available at Lac De Mines D'Or with a guide or hire your own donkey for half a day.

Lindaret Goats Village

Visiting the goats village at Linderet

A favourite with the kids is a visit to Lindaret Goats Village which is made up of mountain restaurants and souvenir shops and overrun by goats!. They cunningly get the tourist to feed the goats by selling goat food. It is a little bit smelly but generally very entertaining as goats clamber everywhere and stubbornly refuse to move out of the way of bikers, walkers and cars. A major hit with the kids!

Swimming

Generally a hit with kids and adults alike the outdoor pool complex in Morzine is outstanding. It has an Olympic size pool, a medium size pool for children at only 60-100cm deep and then an area for children for toddlers with water only 25 cm deep with slides and water fountains. There is also a volley ball court, table tennis, a water slide, bouncy castle, restaurant and pic nic areas. The lakes at Les Gets and Montriond are also fully life guarded during July and August and provide a nice alternative to the pool with stunning scenery. The new multi pass gives you FREE access to the pool and both lakes offering fantastic value for money.

Ropes Course In The Trees

There are a coupe of fantastic ropes courses, Indiana in Morzine and the Adventure Parc in Les Gets. Basically it is like an obstacle course you make your way around but high up in the trees made from ladders, swing bridges and death-slides. It is quite safe as you wear a suit and harness and are always clipped on to the steel ropes.  In both Morzine and Les Gets there is a circuit for the very young, (from age 2 in Morzine) and 4 circuits for older children and adults of varying difficulty (blue, red and black and even super black!).

Fishing

There are several places to fish: Lac Des Mines D' Or, lake Montriond, the Plan du Rocher lake… but also in the Dranse, the river that runs through Morzine and in which the much sought after lake Geneva trout spawn their eggs.
Day permits or 15 day holiday permits are available from 1st April to 30th September.
