Looking for a French Alps move?
Morzine is a winter and summer resort offering skiing, watersports, road and mountain biking amongst a host of other outdoor activities.
At just over an hour from Geneva Airport, it sits in the heart of the Portes du Soleil ski domain, where investment in the infrastructure is high.
Here you'll find a varied blend of traditional chalets, oozing Savoyard charm, rubbing shoulders with chic apartments, village houses and new builds and there are a number of affordable properties available.
Local property expert Nicky Wye's top picks:
Modernised four bedroomed chalet for sale in the Col de Corbier. Attention grabbing price reduced from €369,000 to €320,000
4/5 bedroom chalet with separate apartment for sale in a village near Morzine, sunny location with spectacular views.
Imposing, high quality 5 bedroom/5 bathroom spacious chalet with panoramic mountain views, near Morzine. Great as a family home or ski chalet rental business.
So what would you do differently if you had the chance?
I'm not sure I'd do anything differently really. Maybe I would have tried to buy property when the prices were lower in alpine resorts but I've had a great time living and working in Morzine and there is very little that I would change.
Advice for anyone moving to France?
This is quite an easy one ... you need to start learning French before you come to France. Then once you’re here, you need to make an investment of time to continue learning. It opens so many doors and helps you integrate properly. Also, accept that there are many differences between France and your home country, learn about these and embrace them…
And bring some proper English tea with you as the French 'English Breakfast Tea' just isn't the same!
