The villages own
complex of nine lifts is directly linked to Flaine,
Samoens,
and Les
Carroz with runs for all abilities.
Extensive
off-piste opportunities
are an added bonus around
the Morillon ski resort and surrounding resorts of
the Grand Massif.
For
beginners
there are a few green
slopes at Morillon 1100 Les Esserts, and some blues
to progress on. These all link back to the resort
centre, making it a great environment to learn
in.
For
intermediates, the Morillon slopes are
excellent – the long green Marvel run to
Morillon 1100 is an easy cruise with excellent signs
along the way explaining the local wildlife.
Experts
can find some tricky red
and black runs above Morillon ski resort.
Skiing back to
the resort
If you are staying
in Morillon village, depending on snow conditions you
can take the ‘Doina’ red run which winds
under the Morillon gondola to the bottom. If you are
staying at Morillon 1100, the pistes coming directly
into the resort are the green ‘Marvel’
and 2 blue runs – ‘Sairon’ &
‘Charnia’.
Snowboarders and
twin-tip skiers have a choice of three purpose built
terrain parks (see below)
PS. If you suddenly
come across a rocket with a blue helmet on the slopes
don’t worry it’s probably only local hero
Antoine Deneriaz who won Gold in the men’s
downhill at the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics!
The Chamonix Valley
and the Portes du Soleil (Les Gets,
Morzine
and Avoriaz) are only a 30-minute drive away.
Morillon is also an ideal starting point for
cross-country skiing, walking and snow-
shoeing.

Please note that lesson times are subject to change
right until the last minute. Outside French school
holidays the ski school reserves the right to cancel
group lessons should numbers be insufficient. For
peak periods (18/12-2/1, 13/2-13/3 & 9/4-24/4) we
strongly recommend that you book as early as possible
and in any case at least 6 weeks prior to the
required dates. Morning lessons tend to get booked up
first and therefore we may only be able to offer
afternoon classes within 6 weeks of departure. In
some resorts English speaking instructors may not
always be available, particularly at peak times.
