Welcome to MZine — Celebrating Life in Morzine and Beyond
Nestled in the heart of the French Alps, Morzine is more than a ski resort and world renowned MTB destination — it’s a living, breathing community. From snowy winter mornings on the slopes to apres somehow ending the next day, to fast rides on worldcup berms to sunlit summer evenings by the lake, life here has a rhythm and warmth all its own. MZine exists to capture that spirit.
MZine is an online community driven magazine created for everyone who shares a connection with this valley — locals, natives, long-time visitors, second-home owners, seasonal workers, skibums and newcomers alike. Our mission is simple: to celebrate this place we all love, to share the stories that make it special, and to bring the community together through positivity, curiosity, and connection.
We share useful know-how, too — guides, local tips, and info cards that help you live, work, and play better in the mountains. And when the mood strikes, we lean into the satire — a wink to the glory days of Morzine Crew Talk and the cheeky, unfiltered side of alpine life that refuses to take itself too seriously.
MZine shines a light on the people and stories that make this valley so alive. We dig into the everyday and the extraordinary — the liftie who knows everyone (he really needs a medal), the trail builder who knows every berm by heart, the land lady and lord whose bar has raised property prices, the new ideas bubbling up from old chalets.
Yes, Morzine has its luxury chalets and boutique hotels — and we love the beauty and ambition they bring. But MZine isn’t about glossy perfection. It’s about real life in the valley: the workers, the dreamers, the seasonnaires, the long-timers and the locals who make the magic happen behind the scenes.
We want our stories to feel open and familiar — a reflection of the rhythm of life here, from pre-season paint jobs to bluebird mornings to dusty downhill afternoons. Whether you call Morzine home all year, visit when you can, or simply wish you were here. Morzine isn’t just a place on the map. It’s a state of mind — a shared story written one snowflake, one trail, and one laugh at a time and MZine is here to tell it.
MZine is for you. See how you can get involved below. MZine sits within morzine.space, a growing digital hub connecting local projects, people, and ideas. The name says it all — it’s about giving space to stories, voices, and creativity that belong to this valley. And news.morzine.space is where those stories come to life.
