Morillon Ski Holidays

If your idea of après-ski involves spraying champagne on a dancefloor, you’re in the wrong place. Morillon’s après scene is relaxed, friendly, and food-focused, which suits the resort’s easy-going personality perfectly.

At Le Potet 2.0, you can ski straight off the slopes and tuck into pizza and beers with locals - sometimes accompanied by live music. It’s lively without being chaotic, and a great first stop after your last run. Back in the village, La Puzze is a firm favourite for families and groups, offering everything from hearty Savoyard classics (yes, that means fondue) to wood-fired pizzas. For something more refined, head to Arvi’Pâtes in nearby Verchaix - a restaurant dedicated to fresh, handmade pasta and locally sourced ingredients. It’s not your typical mountain fare, and that’s precisely what makes it worth the trip. And for those who appreciate a good pint, Brasserie de la Vallée du Giffre - an artisanal mountain brewery - is the spot to sample craft beers made right here in the Alps.

While Morillon maintains a charmingly traditional vibe, it's fully equipped with modern amenities and provides easy access to more extensive facilities nearby. Many of the upscale residences, particularly in Les Esserts, include their own small wellness facilities. For a comprehensive spa experience, visitors can easily travel to nearby Samoëns, home to centres like Ô des Cimes, which offer full services including saunas, jacuzzis, and massage treatments for total relaxation.

Beyond the slopes, there are plenty of exhilarating and engaging activities. Family favourites include ice skating at the village rink and safe, dedicated sledging areas. For a unique way to explore the snowy forest trails, both dog sledging and horse sledging are offered. Adrenaline seekers can try paragliding with tandem flights from the upper slopes, offering jaw-dropping views of the Haut-Giffre valley, or tackle ice climbing on the dramatic frozen waterfalls near Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval. Finally, the resort offers a cultural charm with its historic village church and traditional wooden chalets, complemented by tranquil walks around Lac Bleu for a peaceful escape.

Morillon's identity is deeply rooted in its commitment to families, evidenced by its official Famille Plus certification, which guarantees excellent child-friendly services. The Plateau des Esserts stands out as a dream location for young skiers, being safe, sunny, and easy for parents to navigate. Both the ESF and independent schools offer structured lessons from age three upwards, including the Piou-Piou Club, designed for toddlers to take their first steps on skis in a playful environment.

The resort ensures that learning is fun, featuring dedicated fun zones and mini snow parks explicitly designed for children, proving that progression doesn't have to be tedious. Off the slopes, the Lac Bleu area serves as another key family hotspot, hosting various events and offering diverse activities, like snowshoe walks and pony rides. This area provides the perfect, relaxed setting to unwind after a busy day of skiing without feeling rushed.
