Businesses in Morzine and Avoriaz have come together to encourage our visitors to take the train. The Montagne Verte association has collaborated with various partners to offer you a discount booklet, including commercial gestures for travelers coming to the Alps by train.
We want to encourage you to change your mobility! Taking the train is an excellent way to take concrete action for environmental protection! »
Why take the train?
In ski resorts, the transportation of people is the main source of greenhouse gas emissions. It accounts for more than 50% of the carbon footprint of your holidays! Changing your mobility can thus have a significant impact on your emissions and our environmental footprint. Opting for the train more frequently is the first important step towards sustainable tourism !

Montagne Verte
At the beginning of 2019, Barbara de Moubray, along with a few friends, began working on reducing plastic waste in Morzine. In March 2019, this small group started organizing events and developing an online presence to raise awareness, leading to the creation of Montagne Verte. Around the same time, many governments worldwide were declaring climate emergencies. It became evident that action needed to go beyond the fight against plastic and encompass sustainability and the environment as a whole.
The Mission of Montagne Verte.
The association was officially registered as a non-profit organization (association loi 1901) in August 2019. Montagne Verte is also recognized as a public-interest organization within the environmental protection domain.

Additional Information:
Do I qualify for a discount on my train ticket ?
The AlpinExpress offers discounts to those who arrive by train. However, it does not provide a discount on your train ticket.
Where is the nearest train station ?
The closest train station to Morzine – Avoriaz – Les Gets is Cluses (or possibly Thonon-les-Bains). From there, you can be transported by buses or by one of our participating transfer companies (with your pass, you’ll also enjoy a discount).
Does this apply if I take a train from or to the airport ?
No. If you take the train to an airport and then take a flight to Geneva (or any other alpine airport), you are not eligible for an AlpinExpress Pass. This initiative aims to promote train travel as a genuine alternative.
