Description
We are an English family with 2 boys aged 12 and 14. We live in Morzine in the French Alps. We love the outdoors, skiing and snowboarding in the winter and swimming, running, road and mountain biking in the summer. We enjoy meeting new people and learning about different cultures having travelled quite a bit in the past!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
There is a huge amount of outdoor activities for anyone staying with us. In the summer, Morzine is a centre for mountain biking and in the winter it is a bustling ski resort (part of the huge Portes de Soleil). In summer, there are also opportunities to hike, road cycle, swim in lakes and really relax! In winter, as well as skiing, you can also cross country ski, snow shoe, ski touring and enjoy the atmosphere of a busy, fun ski resort! All the time you are surrounded by our beautiful mountains. It's a real opportunity to get away from it all.
We love meeting new people and especially learning about different cultures and would love our children to benefit from this experience as well.
