Morgins, a chocolate box mountain village, nestled between pine forests and meadows on the Swiss French border,
has been welcoming visitors for over a hundred years. It's a place to enjoy warm, friendly hospitality,
combine sport with holiday and relaxation, to escape from it all. Situated in the Portes du Soleil ski area / Chablais,
just a snow ball's throw from the Geneva Lake, Morgins offers the best of Swiss and French cultures.
In 2008, the 4th Alpine Ski World Championships take place in Switzerland, in the Chablais and the Portes-du-Soleil regions.
The Swiss candidature was accepted by the UIAA (International Mountaineering and Climbing Federation) umbrella organization.
The candidature was submitted by the Swiss Alpine Club, which may count on a committee composed of specialists of the Chablais region
for the organization of the event. Some 400 competitors from about 30 different nations will compete in the races from February 24 to March 1, 2008.
