<p><strong>Day Trips to Les Gets and Avoriaz</strong></p>
<p>The Telepherique des Prodains is a large cable car that runs
from Morzine to the unique car free resort of Avoriaz. On the way
you can expect some beautiful views, so bring your
camera!&nbsp;<br />
The lift operates from 07.00 to 21.00 on Monday to Thursday and
07.00 to 24.00 Friday to Sunday and will cost (Euro) 7.20 single
and (Euro) 12 return. Under 5s travel for free and under 16s
receive discount.</p>
<p>Take a day trip to Les Gets and explore what this interesting
little village has to offer, where you can visit the Musee de la
Musique Mecanique - yes, Mechanical Music…To get there, take a
journey down to the Morzine Bus Station (Gare Routier). There you
can take buses to either Cluses or Thonon which are both great
towns to visit down the valley.&nbsp;</p>

There is also the Balad'Aulps Bus which departs from the
Télécabine du Super Morzine and will bring you to Les Gets.</p>
<p><strong>A Bit of Culture</strong></p>
<p>Being an old rural market town, Morzine inhabitants used to live
off agriculture and slate mining. This would explain the local
cultural attractions - tours of the cheese making pastures and 200
year old slate works.</p>
<p>The Slate Workshop and Cowshed and Cheese Dairy are both very
interesting and provide a good history of these industries, coupled
of course with the amazing views.</p>
<p>However, for museums and galleries, one could take the short
journey to Les Gets and discover the Museum of Mechanical Music
(which includes interactive sessions where you can try some of the
weird and wonderful musical devices for yourself!) or go further
afield and take the 1 hour journey to Geneva, where there is more
than you could begin to cover in a day.</p>
