Probably the bus.
There's a pdf timetable he
http://www.gva.ch/en/Portaldata/1/Re...eroski-bus.pdf
(Its pretty big, prolly broadband only; don't even try on dial-up.)

Some buses go direct, some take you to the Prodains cable car. The fare is
30 something euros one way, 60 odd return and it takes a couple of hours.

Saturdays they leave the airport at: 8.30 11.00 12.40 14.15 and 18.15 for
the cable car and at: 13.30 and 17.20 direct.

Weds I think they just run the service from the foot of the Prodains cable
car, which leave at: 8.25 14.25 and 17.20

Details of the buses can be found he
http://www.altibus.com/

These links and other bits of info can be found he
http://www.gva.ch/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-70/

On the Saturday afternoon when you arrive, there's a chance you'll be able
to hook up with a private transfer return trip. Quite a few of the chalets
in and around Morzine do transfers, and if they've dropped someone off at
the airport and don't have anyone to pick up, they'd rather take someone
back with them for a few euros than go empty. Obviously there's no way to
arrange that in advance, but if you have time to kill before the bus goes
anyway, it couldn't hurt to troll around a bit before you buy a ticket.
Just a thought, caveat emptor and all that.
