A week in the mountains... between Leman and Mont Blanc !

Morzine is well known for its ski resort but is also part of a wider mountain range at the limits of Mont Blanc massif. The label "Géopark", awarded by Unesco in 2012, recognises the treasures of this area: wildlife, geology, history, human heritage, gastronomy, flora...
We'll discover some surprising landscapes during beautiful easy hikes. In the evening, a warm and cosy 3*hotel awaits us.
