Hi All,
A group of 8 of us are going to Morzine 2-April for 7 days 4 of the group only want to ski 4 days. One couple want a nice place to go for spa treatment and the others have asked me what can they do in Morzine apart from ski. As its 15 years since Ive been there can anyone advise on the above??? Thanks in advance! arrrrggghh I just wanna ski ski ski!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Snow shoe excursions can be great fun for a morning or afternoon. Try The Snow Shoe Company or ESF

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

There are a few spas down in Evian Les Bains on Lake Geneva from memory, about a 30 to 45 minute drive from Morzine. Be a nice day out to the lake anyway if it's a nice spring morning. I'm assuming you've got a (hire) car of course.

Lovely Spa in Les Gets at the Chomois d'Or hotel that you can book treatments etc without being a resident in the hotel.
Paraponting, snow shoe walks, ice rink, cinema, bowling in avoriaz.
cross country skiing, snow bike tours in Avoriaz on 'Fat Bikes' after the lifts have closed (See Laurent at the Avoriaz alpine ski school amazing evening).
Ski doo trip in Avoriaz
Husky sled near St Jean d'Aulp
if the weather is nice a day trip out to Yvoire or Evian on the shores of Lac Leman (Lake Geneva). I'm sure the transfer companies would give you a fair price to tun the 4 x people down there for the day.
Also the tourist office put loads of stuff on. (Fun, silly stuff like cheese rolling competition).

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@@247snowman, has pretty much nailed it. There is also the pool with sauna and steam rooms in Morzine if they want to go there. The Little Mountain Spa in Morzine is brilliant and does fantastic treatments - they also come to the chalet if you prefer, you can book online too.

If you cannot bear to wear banana-hammocks, there are 2 nice spas over the border in Switzerland, beyond the jurisdiction of the Speedo Police.
These are at Lavey les Bains and Val D'illiez.
They are a bit further afield:
Lavey is 65KM (90 mins drive) https://www.bains-lavey.ch/en/
Val D'illiez is 50 KM (75 mins drive) http://www.thermes-parc.com/les-bains/
But you could make a day of it and take in St Maurice and the salt mines of Bex if you go to Lavey, or for Val D'illiez take a trip on the cog railway along this really pretty valley.
Lavey is a bigger and and a bit more fancy, but Val d'Illiez has really nice food and is more friendly and relaxed.
