What Mairie de Morzine Avoriaz does

Mairie de Morzine-Avoriaz is the municipal government (commune) of the twin alpine resort towns of Morzine and Avoriaz in Haute-Savoie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France, governed by Mayor Jean-François Berger following the March 2025 municipal elections. The commune serves permanent residents, seasonal visitors, second-home owners, and local businesses through a full-spectrum municipal offering: civil status and administrative procedures, urban planning, water and sanitation, family and childcare services (via the Aiga Portail Famille), sports facilities (ice rinks, aquatic center, Palais des Sports), cultural programming (Saison Culturelle, Morzine en scène), and a library. The municipality is a member of the Portes du Soleil ski area (one of the world's largest connected ski domains spanning France and Switzerland) and the Haut-Chablais Intercommunalité cooperative, which delivers shared services such as school transport and early childhood coordination.

The commune's digital infrastructure is built on standard municipal software: a WordPress-based official website (mairie-morzine-avoriaz.com), a ConsultVox-powered participatory democracy platform (jeparticipe.mairie-morzine-avoriaz.com) for public consultations including the Morzine-Avoriaz liaison project, the Aiga family portal, and social media channels (Facebook). No proprietary technology platforms were identified. The operating model is funded by local taxation (taxe d'habitation for secondary residences, taxe de séjour/tourist tax, property taxes) and fiscal participations, with service fees set by municipal council deliberation. The commune holds the 3 fleurs Villes et Villages Fleuris label and Flocon Vert sustainable tourism certification, and participates in climate adaptation initiatives (Climsnow study). It is a public administrative body (personne publique) under French law, not a commercial enterprise; it is not investable in the conventional PE/VC/M&A sense.
