FAQs about Morzine ski holidays
Your questions answered by our Morzine ski resort expert
Is Morzine good for skiing?
Yes, Morzine ski resort boasts outstanding slopes and runs due to its central placement in the vast 650km Portes du Soleil region - one of the largest linked ski areas in the world. Famed for its scenic tree-lined pistes and diverse terrain, it’s a favourite among seasoned ski groups and families, offering a charming alpine ambience, modern lift links, well-groomed slopes, and even the option to ski two countries in one day in nearby Switzerland.
Are Morzine ski holidays snow sure?
Generally, yes. Though Morzine ski resort itself sits at around 1,000m, the slopes here boast a strong snow record due to a microclimate created by nearby Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc. What’s more, most local slopes sit on grassy pastures, meaning they require a smaller amount of snow to be operational and safe.
When’s the best time to book a ski holiday in Morzine?
- January is one of the best times to book a Morzine ski holiday thanks to its historical deep winter powder and quiet, uncrowded slopes between the Christmas and half term school breaks.
- For brighter, longer days and warmer temperatures, book a Morzine ski holiday in March.
- And though it may be busier, February and December are unbeatable for family ski holidays in Morzine - with Christmas and half term proving lively times to hit the resort (just make sure to book in advance!).
Is Morzine a good pick for beginner ski holidays?
Yes. A Morzine ski holiday is a great option for beginners, and is considered one of the best resorts in the Alps for first-timers. With an extensive network of gentle nursery slopes located at the top of the Pléney gondola to get started on and numerous wide, gentle greens and blues to progress onto - it’s got beginner kids and adults well-catered for, with the local ski schools also highly regarded for complete beginners.
Is Morzine suitable for family ski trips?
Absolutely. Morzine is ideal for family ski holidays, holding the "Famille Plus" label that ensures high-quality facilities and entertainment for children.
Morzine ski resort provides dedicated children's "fun zones" on the slopes, delivers excellent childcare services, and offers a large indoor swimming complex for non-ski days.
Additionally, the short transfer time from the airport makes it easier for parents to travel with young children (say goodbye to airport tantrums!)
Is Morzine ski resort good for snowboard holidays?
Yes, absolutely. Snowboarders love Morzine and the wider Portes du Soleil, which was one of the first ski areas in Europe to fully embrace the sport alongside skiing. The wide, rolling terrain across the slopes makes it very snowboarder-friendly, alongside several world-class snowparks - most notably the "Stash" in neighbouring Avoriaz, where riders tackle all-natural wooden obstacles through the forest.
Are ski holidays to Morzine good for expert and advanced skiers?
Yes, while Morzine is renowned for its wealth of cruisy corduroy runs ideal for intermediates, more seasoned skiers and snowboarders will also find plenty to challenge themselves. Steep black runs and excellent off-piste powder bowls await at Chamossière, Nyon, and the legendary "Swiss Wall" on the border.
Advanced skiers can also use Morzine as a base to tackle the renowned "Portes du Soleil Circuit," a full-day adventure that crosses multiple resorts in both France and Switzerland.
Is Morzine a good choice for a first-time ski holiday?
Yes, Morzine is one of the best choices in Europe for a first-time ski holiday, thanks to its modern infrastructure, great beginner slopes, excellent ski schools, and easy access from the airport.
The village's layout makes getting around easy without cars and buses, and with the beginner areas separated away from the more advanced ski areas, it allows first-timers to practise without the pressure of nearby traffic.
Can you go night skiing on a Morzine ski holiday?
Yes. The Pléney stadium occasionally hosts floodlit skiing sessions and spectacular torchlight descents by ESF instructors, and it doesn't stop there. Morzine also hosts night snowmobiling and night-time sledging, great high-energy alternatives for those looking to escape their skis and boards for the night.
Is Morzine ski resort easy to get to?
Yes, Morzine is remarkably easy to reach. As one of the most accessible resorts in the Alps, it remains a favourite for those seeking to maximise slope time with shorter transfers and weekend ski trips.
Located very close to the French-Swiss border, it's easily reached via well-maintained roads that avoid the steepest, most hair-raising mountain passes in as little as 75- 90 minutes. Its proximity to a major international transport hub means you can often be on the snow within a few hours after landing.
Is Morzine ski resort linked to any other resorts?
Yes, Morzine is fully linked to 11 other resorts across France's Portes du Soleil ski area, including Les Gets, Avoriaz, Chatel, and the Swiss villages of Champery and Les Crosets.
From Pléney, you can ski directly into Les Gets or take a quick gondola up to Avoriaz to access the rest of the circuit. This massive connectivity means serious ski-goers could potentially ski to a different village every day of their holiday.
