We're going to Morzine in July and will probably have one or two days off the bike, to break it up and allow aching bodies to rest. We've done white water rafting a couple of times and I refuse to try the parachute flying (I can't remember what it's actually called)! So other than spending the day sat outside bars drinking beer (again) what else can you recommend? Thanks
Lac Montriond looked like a nice spot to chillax in the sun.
The Fantasticable is worth a go.
Day trip to chamonix and ride the cable cars ( on foot) superb on a nice day.
About an hour up the road if you have a car.
Fantasticable...

Clean bikes, fix broken things, drink beer in the sunshine!
Edit: That ^^^ fantasticable thing looks fun! I did something similar (but much shorter) in NZ once, flying fox?
There's loads. There's some properly good walking, ice skating, ice hockey, swimming (take the cable car up to Avoriaz and go in the rubber ring half pipe, the cable car is a good ride, too, especially coming down, stand at the front), tennis, Via Feratta. For something a bit more cultural then visit the abbey, the mechanical museum or the cheese making. Also look out for special events; there's often road bike racing on, the rally Mont Blanc, the cow festival, medieval fair. Also even though you have done the rafting have tried hot dogging or hydrospeed?
A couple of walks

Paragliding?
Do it. It's excellent. You don't have that leap out of a plane moment so it not scary at all. You simply run along for a bit at the top of a mountian and then gently rise into the air. The flight is then incredibly relaxing and beautiful. Landing again is a straight forward experience.
Expensive though.
whitewater rafting and variations on that theme.
Or just go for a slower ride!
non bike days in Morzine?
If you have a car you could do a day trip to Geneva, Annecy or Gruyere
