The resort is very small but very pretty. A few good chilled out restaurants and plush one too and one open air bar right after the lifts closed ( although this did not go on too late!). A really good bonus is that the lift is directly out of the village, so no walking far or needing a bus or car

MORILLON SKI HOLIDAYS

Morillon is a small, twin centre resort that accesses the impressive Le Grand Massif ski area that it shares with Flaine, Les Carroz and Samoens. Morillon is made up of 2 separate stations, Morillon the village based at 700m in the valley and Morillon Grand Massif which is located at 1100m and forms a small ski-in, ski-out village at the mid-station. Morillon the original village and valley station is small, charming and authentic and has slope-side accommodation located around the main gondola. Morillon Grand Massif is a purpose built resort set in the trees and in the middle of the ski area. It is small, well designed and attractive and has a dedicated childrens ski area. It offers great access to the slopes but lacks the charm of Morillon.

MORILLON SKI HOLIDAY INFO

Morillon accesses Le Grand Massif ski area which boasts a combined ski area of some 265 km of ski pistes and just short of 80 lifts. The skiing is mainly beginner and intermediate in the Grand Massif ski area. The ski area at Morillon offers a good amount of tree-lined skiing and has some interesting pistes. The village of Morillon is charming and whilst not as beautiful as the neighbouring village of Samoens, if has real character. This is no mega resort; there are a few shops and a number of restaurants but the village existed before the ski lifts and Morillon is definitely full of character (if sleepy). Morillon Grand Massif (1100m) offers great access to the slopes.

Morillon is pretty interesting but nothing challenging, the total Grand Massif ski area is impressive.

Almost nothing there apart from accommodation, shops and a couple of restaurantsbut good access to the lift and slopes and authentic. Very quiet but wonderful authentic feel to the village.
