This time next week the resort of Morzine will be bracing itself for the invasion of HOG – that’s the Harley Owners Group to you and me! HOG are returning to Morzine for their forth annual bike festival between 11th and 14th July, and you’ll find the resort packed out with polished chrome and a lot of leather. But you don’t have to be on a bike to join in the fun. Here’s what else is going on in Morzine during the HOG weekend…
Thursday 11th July
The bikes arrive in Morzine from Samoens over the Joux Plane
Between 8pm and 9.30pm there’ll be a free concert in the village square by ‘Road to Freedom’

Musician Dick Rivers will then play a free concert between 10pm and midnight
