That being said, beginners in particular may not even leave the local ski area, which is home to a good selection of greens and blues, offering very nice terrain for progression. More adventurous skiers should head across to the wide open Flaine bowl to perfect their off piste skills or to the the long Coulouvrier chairlift (installed in 2018/19) which opened up almost 1000m of tree-lined terrain above the village of Morillon itself.
Staying down in the valley means you might not be able to ski down at the end of the day, but you get a traditional village with good facilities and quick access to the slopes. The closer to the gondola you stay the better, or if you’re looking for maximum convenience, the small satellite village of Morillon 1100 has easier access to the slopes and some family-friendly, slopeside accommodation. The quick access from Geneva (transfers typically take an hour) makes Morillon a great option for a weekend trip.

After a good couple of weeks for the French Alps, things settle down through this week as high pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions to the region.
Temperatures will be warm, with the freezing line dropping only to 2,500m overnight and climbing as high as 3,500m in the midday sun. A rare flutter of cloud could move in over on Friday and Sunday, but otherwise spring is firmly here in the French Alps.
A couple of flurries of snow could fall early next week as the freezing line drops in to the new week, but it remains a bit too early to tell exactly how much, when, and where this might fall.
