Your hotel with swimming pool in Morzine
A beautiful family story
In 1934, Morzine inaugurated the Pléney cable car with great fanfare. At the time, the cable car was only used for walks and views of the Alps, leaving skiing to the reassuring meadows of the valley.
Just before the war, Andrée and François Passaquin transformed the family farm to open the Hôtel des Sports, one of the first establishments to welcome tourists to Morzine.
Sporting in Morzine
Unfortunately, the difficult times that followed forced them to close until 1945, when they were finally able to devote themselves entirely to welcoming holidaymakers. François, a carpenter by trade, was already keen to introduce his guests to the warmth of wood by constantly maintaining and renovating the hotel, while Andrée, a skilled seamstress, took care of the interiors.
Their son Claude, who learned the trade of chef, soon joined them and took over the business with his wife Christiane in the 1980s. They renamed the hotel «Le Sporting». A lover of good taste and a gifted woodworker, Claude, in turn, never ceased to embellish and develop the hotel, while Christiane brought her personal touch to the decoration of the chalet and her dedication to welcoming guests.
