Morzine properties for sale
Morzine properties for sale attract buyers who want a proper village, a big ski area and year-round life in the French Alps. Set in the heart of the Portes du Soleil, Morzine mixes traditional chalet architecture with a lively centre, making it one of the most versatile bases in the region. You can arrive for a quick weekend, spend full seasons here or run a solid rental strategy without feeling like you are in a purely tourist resort.
The ski area and seasons
Morzine sits in the middle of the Portes du Soleil, one of the largest linked ski areas in Europe. From the Pleney side you have tree-lined pistes towards Les Gets. From the Super Morzine and Avoriaz side you reach higher, snow-sure slopes and the wider Franco-Swiss circuit. The mix of terrain suits beginners, families and confident skiers who want long mileage days.
The village is at a lower altitude than some high-alpine resorts, but access to Avoriaz (some of the best snow in the French Alps historically) offsets the lack of snow reliability. Modern snowmaking on the local slopes also helps early and late in the season. In summer, the resort becomes a major hub for mountain biking and road cycling, with lifts open for bikes, plus hiking routes, swimming at the lake and a busy events calendar. That four-season profile is a key reason why Morzine properties for sale hold their appeal over time.

Property types and key locations in Morzine
Property in Morzine ranges from compact apartments in the town centre to substantial chalets in quieter hamlets. In the very centre, you’ll find older residences and newer, higher-spec schemes close to shops, restaurants and the Pleney lift. These suit owners who prioritise being able to walk everywhere, with strong rental demand from families who like to avoid driving.
On the slopes above the village are established chalet areas such as L’Élé and La Mernaz. These offer more privacy and bigger plots, often with open views back towards the village and surrounding peaks. Many homes here are ideal for extended stays and larger families. Access is usually by car or shuttle, so you trade pure convenience for space and outlook.
Towards Avoriaz, the Prodains valley has seen new development around the cable car. Properties here work well for keen skiers who want fast access to high-altitude slopes. Meanwhile, the road to Montriond and the lake offers a mix of chalets and small residences in a more peaceful setting, with easy access to both Morzine and neighbouring Montriond properties for sale
New-build versus resale in Morzine
The Morzine market includes both traditional chalets and a growing stock of new-build residences (historically Domosno has specialised in selling off-plan properties in Morzine). Resale apartments in older chalets often come with very central locations and sensible layouts, but may need updating. They can provide a good entry point for buyers who want to be close to the lifts and are happy to handle some renovation work over time.
New-build projects usually bring larger living spaces, bigger windows, underground parking, ski lockers and wellness areas. Many are designed to meet current energy standards, which helps both running costs and long-term resale. For investors who want a lock-up-and-leave property with minimal maintenance, these schemes are particularly attractive.
Prices for Morzine properties for sale will vary across the resort (see prices in top banner), with prime central addresses and new developments commanding the highest levels. Chalets on the hillsides can offer more surface area for a similar overall budget, especially if you are prepared to be a short drive from the lifts. A detailed comparison between new-build and carefully chosen resale stock is a key part of any search here.
Also, do not forget that new regulations regarding energy ratings when renting can be problematic in the near future if you wish to generate rental income or need to.
Lifestyle, year-round use and access
One of Morzine’s biggest advantages is its year-round village life. Many businesses stay open outside the core winter and summer peaks, and there is a permanent community of residents, seasonal workers and long-stay visitors. That helps the resort feel alive in shoulder seasons, which matters if you plan regular trips.
Access is straightforward. Geneva airport is around an hour and fifteen minutes away in normal conditions, which makes weekend use realistic. For those driving from the UK, the motorway network brings you close to the valley, with the final part on good mountain roads. Once in the resort, most owners rely on walking, local buses or the occasional short drive to the lifts.
Day-to-day amenities include supermarkets, a range of restaurants and bars, medical services, schools and sports facilities. Families appreciate the mix of ski schools, childcare options and non-ski activities. If you want to explore the wider area, the nearby resorts of Les Gets and Châtel / La Chapelle d’Abondance open up different sectors of the Portes du Soleil and give variety for longer stays.

Rental demand and yields in Morzine
Morzine has one of the most established rental markets in the French Alps. Winter weeks are driven by British, French and wider European guests, with strong demand during school holidays and solid occupancy in January and March. The mix of beginner pistes, intermediate terrain, and access to Avoriaz makes the resort well-suited for families and mixed-ability groups.
Summer rentals are a genuine second season rather than an afterthought, with occupation rates full for most of the season. Mountain biking, road cycling, trail running and family holidays around the lake all help keep occupancy high from late June into early September. Properties with good bike storage, laundry facilities and outdoor space perform particularly well.
Yields depend on property type, management approach and how much personal use you keep (very high season is Christmas week, New Year, Feb/Mar half term & first two weeks Aug). Central apartments with two or three bedrooms, easy lift access and modern interiors often offer the best balance between income and flexibility. Chalets can generate strong turnover in peak weeks but require more hands-on management. With the right setup, Morzine properties for sale can combine serious personal use with meaningful rental income.
Who is Morzine right for?
Morzine suits buyers who want more than a classic one-season resort. If you plan to use your property in both winter and summer, the mix of skiing, biking, hiking and village life works well. Families like the friendly feel and amount of English spoken, while still enjoying a clearly French environment. Retired owners and remote workers appreciate the ability to spend longer periods here without feeling cut off.
Confident skiers who need high-altitude terrain can base themselves in Morzine and focus their days around Avoriaz and the higher Portes du Soleil sectors. Those who prefer trees and gentler slopes tend to stay on the Pleney and Nyon side. Because the resort connects these options easily, mixed-ability groups usually find a comfortable balance.
If you are looking for the most exclusive addresses in the Alps or very quiet, high-altitude villages, Morzine will feel more informal and busier. However, if you want a well-connected, genuinely lived-in resort with strong rental fundamentals, Morzine properties for sale tick many boxes.

Frequently asked questions about buying in Morzine
Is Morzine snow-sure enough for a long-term investment?
Morzine itself sits at a modest altitude, but the direct link to Avoriaz and higher Portes du Soleil sectors gives access to some of the best snow in the French Alps. Modern snowmaking on local slopes also helps protect early- and late-season skiing.
How do prices in Morzine compare with other French resorts?
On a pure price-per-square-metre basis, Morzine is often more affordable than the very top ski resorts (3 Valleys and Espace Killy) but above many lesser-known villages. You pay a premium for central locations, new-build projects and strong views, but still find value against some headline names.
Is it better to buy an apartment or a chalet in Morzine?
Apartments close to the lifts usually deliver the most efficient balance between budget, rental potential and maintenance. Chalets work well if you want more space and privacy, and if you plan to spend extended periods in the resort.
Can I rent my Morzine property year-round?
Most owners focus on winter and summer seasons and accept quieter shoulder weeks. Properties set up for both skiing and biking, with good storage and practical layouts, tend to perform best. Thanks to home-working, all year round, potential can open up more options.
