Weekly programme, social hour, and contact details
Our only issue with the ski area is the relatively low altitude. Despite a lot of snowmaking, the resort runs can be closed, especially early and late in the season and snow quality can suffer on south-facing slopes. Morzine is a large resort – almost a town – meaning that some accommodation is a walk away from the slopes, but what you get is a huge choice of places to stay, restaurants to eat in and bars to have an après drink at – lots of these are very lively, especially at weekends when visitors make the most of the quick transfer from Geneva to pack out the slopes and the bars.
Although there are a couple of short drags on the edge of town, the best beginner slopes are in the Kids Zone located at mid-mountain level, at the top of the Pleney gondola. Longer greens and gentle blues can be found across in the Super Morzine sector. More confident skiers and boarders will be able to enjoy the vast majority of the Les Gets-Morzine ski area – our favourite runs are the long reds served by the recently built Ranfoilly Express.
Exploring the rest of the Portes du Soleil is well worth it for confident intermediates upwards – advanced and expert skiers should certainly buy the full lift pass and explore all 580km of slopes. Locally however, there are some decent steep runs at Mont Chery and also above Morzine in the Nyon and Chamossière sectors – where the best off piste can also be found.
The size of Morzine means it has a huge variety of accommodation – but if you’re looking for maximum convenience try and be as near to the Pleney gondola as possible. It has a very family-friendly reputation, with lots of well-appointed, catered chalets to choose from. Despite this, Morzine is one of the livelier French ski resorts, with a good après ski scene, especially at weekends when visitors flock in for a couple of days on snow.
Off the slopes there is plenty to cater for the non-skiing market. Morzine is home to a very good swimming pool and sports centre – ideal for snowy days, as well as an ice hockey team to cheer on throughout the winter! Outdoors, there is an excellent network of winter walking trails and cross country tracks, plus a couple of sledging routes.
Morzine caters well for families. On the mountain there are gentle, sheltered slopes and play areas. And there are plenty of other activities. Club des Piou Piou is run by the ESF school and takes children from three years old.
Morzine’s apres-ski is good by French resort standards. Several places around the base area get busy as the slopes empty – the Tremplin has live music’ and a lively atmosphere. The Crepu is a sports bar, pleasantly quiet early on but livening up later. Other options include the long-established Bar Robinson and the Dixie, with sport on TV, a cellar bar and some live music. Between the slopes and the centre, and all in the same building, are several spots: the Cavern, which is popular with seasonaires; the Coyote for arcade games and DJ. The Opera and Laury’s are late-night haunts.
Getting here from Geneva is very easy – the drive only takes an hour – so this is an excellent weekend destination. The drive from the UK is one of the quickest and shortest too.

The Ski Club uses third party independent assessments and accreditation of ski resorts to determine a resort “environmentally sustainable” – more information can be found here.
As part of the French Flocon Vert (tr. Green Snowflake) scheme, Morzine – as part of the wider Morzine-Avoriaz resort area – has been awarded one snowflake out of a possible three, representing investment in resources to reduce its environmental impact. Flocon Vert is an independent scheme operated by Mountain Riders, which accredits resorts in France who have met twenty criteria based on environmental, social and economic sustainability.

Warm temperatures start the weekend, with the freezing line hitting 4,000m during the midday sun on Friday. This will fall, however, over the course of the long weekend, eventually hitting 2,000m on Monday evening and staying low throughout the new week.
Cloud will dominate this weekend, and with it will come precipitation. This will begin as rain on Saturday, but as things turn cooler this will turn to snow, with around 5cm falling across the region over Sunday evening, Monday and throughout Tuesday; this will fall on higher ground only as the freezing line remains on or just above 2,000m. High pressure returns in the middle of the week with plenty of fine, dry and bright conditions
Thus concludes this season’s snow overviews; thank you to everyone who has read them this season, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
Your Ski Club Reps are in resort for one reason only; to help you discover better skiing. They are your personal resort gurus, with years of experience skiing here and around the world, who will bring you and your fellow Members together to conquer the mountain! Stay up to date with everything in resort, find the best spots for an après beer, and ski to your heart’s content.
Our Reps will be in resort between 3 January and 27 March 2026, skiing six days a week – Reps’ day off/changeover day is Saturday in this resort. Log your upcoming trip to Morzine now via the “My Trips” function on the Ski Club App to let your Rep know when you’ll be in resort. View contact details, meeting times & points, and social hour details now.
I started skiing at the age of 10 and have been a ski club "rep" since I was 22 and over the years, I have led a considerable number of Freshtracks holidays and repped in Austria, Switzerland and Italy. In my professional life I have developed and opened 3 indoor ski slopes and advise on the operation of indoor snow centres.
We're still finalising our Reps Programme in this resort for 2025/26 - we hope to confirm our complete programme shortly.
I spend most of the winter in Morzine, where I once ran a chalet. I have written a series of books about my winter life called 'Skiing with Demons (1, 2 and 3). They document my experiences as a chalet host and my sometimes tempestuous relationship with skiing. My summer passion is fell walking and I try to spend most of it in the Lake District and on the Pennine Mountains.
(more info here: www.skiingwithdemons.com)
I have worked in the ski industry for over 30 years alongside work in HR and TV Research. New to the Ski Club of GB but have worked with DHO. Until semi retiring last year, I was Lead Instructor at Aberdeen Snowsports Centre and I still regularly teach on the plastic hill!
I enjoy all aspects of skiing – piste, off piste, and everything in between. I coach with Special Olympics and have family involved with alpine ski racing
Repping offers an ideal way of enjoying the mountains safely with like minded people. I look forward to seeing you on the slopes this season!
I decided to become a Ski Club Rep to ski more! More places, with more people, more often, with as much skiing variety as possible. I really want to stretch myself and my skiing. I also love sharing my enthusiasm and experience of skiing with others to support their skiing journey - it all makes for satisfying work!
Having learnt to ski on a dry ski slope as a teenager, I picked up the skiing bug! I have spent a lot of time skiing in Morzine, where I had an apartment, and in Glenshee where I combine my passions for skiing and medicine as a volunteer ski patroller. When not out on the snow, I work as a Pharmaceutical Physician and enjoy walks with my two black labradors, managing a few house building projects and cycling with my 2 year old son.
