The village has a resident population of about 450, most of whom are involved in tourism and agriculture. Morgins has the usual selection of shops including a couple of banks and ATM's but its main attraction is the winter & summer activities. The Portes du Soleil is one of the largest ski domains in the Alps and has plenty of scope for cross country skiing; snow shoeing & ski touring in addition to the highly popular downhill skiing and snowboarding. The summer is particularly beautiful with its meadows of wild flowers and there is a vast choice of activities to suit all the family from the slightly insane "fantasticable" in Chatel to the soothing waters of Lavey Les Bains.

Ideally placed in the center of Europe, Switzerland has much to offer in terms of sightseeing. Montreux and its famous landmark, the Chateau de Chillon is within 40 minutes drive and Lausanne with its impressive gothic cathedral, cobbled streets and Olympic museum is barely an hour's drive from Morgins. Crowd pullers include the chocolate & cheese factories in picturesque Gruyere (50 minutes) and the Diablerets glacier forms a focal point for a day out touring around Gstaad and Chateau d'Oex.
