Snow conditions in Morzine
Morzine enjoys reliable snow from November through to April and is the ideal base for a ski-in ski-out holiday. Although Morzine itself is located at a moderate altitude, snow machines ensure that there is always plenty of snow even on the lower runs. Many of the slopes are tree-lined so head here if you plan to ski when snow is falling.
The best time to go skiing in Morzine
The beginning and end of the ski season offer warmer weather and quieter slopes but possibly less reliable snow while Christmas in Morzine is a magical experience for all ages. Heavy falls of powder snow in January and February create the conditions for excellent skiing but days are shorter at this time of year and temperatures are low.
