Forecast today: Mainly fair
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.

France gets off to a slow start over the weekend with cold temperatures and minimal snow and a freezing line sitting around the 2000m mark. High pressure dominates the weekend until Monday meaning lovely blue bird days for a great weekend of skiing. This then turns to low pressure which results in a return of snow.
As we move into the next week, there is an early flurry of snow, most notably in Chamonix and for most of the northern French Alps getting 30-40 cm’s of snow early next week. Temperatures seem to stay around the -3 degrees mark and the creeping up to -6/-7 overnight.
