Forecast today: Clear skies
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 the excellent snowfall at the start of this week, things settle down across the region for the remainder of this week. High pressure dominates throughout, meaning fine, dry and bright conditions are in store for Christmas Day and right the way through to the end of the weekend.
Temperatures will re cool, with a freezing line hovering around 1,500m overnight and spiking up to 2,000m during the midday sun – that means highs of 1-3°C can be expected at 2,000m.
Otherwise, things are holding steady with some excellent skiing conditions coming up.
The Ski Club office is closed on Friday 28 December – there will be no overviews published on this date, returning Tuesday 31 December. The Ski Club wishes you a Merry Christmas!
