Morzine Snow Report & Forecast

What's New in Morzine This Winter?

There are some interesting additions to discover around Morzine and the neighbouring Avoriaz ski area this winter, with new family experiences, refreshed freestyle facilities and developments across the village.

One of the more unusual activities to discover is La Folie du Dahu, an interactive outdoor adventure on the Nyon Plateau. Families and friends follow a route of approximately 2km, using a tablet to solve puzzles and complete seven challenges while searching for the legendary Dahu. With different possible outcomes depending on the decisions made along the way, it offers a fun alternative to a traditional day on the slopes. The activity has been introduced during 2026, although its availability during the winter season will depend on operating arrangements.

Over in Avoriaz, the La Chapelle snowpark is receiving further improvements as part of the ongoing Marches de la Chapelle project. A redesigned social area is planned, creating more space for riders and spectators to relax, watch the freestyle action and enjoy events. The improvements are expected to include a skate ramp and opportunities for music and entertainment throughout the season.

There's also a new place to take a break in the Arare sector of Avoriaz. Plan Brazy is being developed as a mountain relaxation area, with a picnic space, sunny terrace and rooftop offering views towards the Dents du Midi.

Back in Morzine itself, several familiar addresses are preparing to welcome visitors following major renovations. Le Tremplin, near the Pléney gondola, is returning with refurbished accommodation, while the former Les Airelles hotel is being transformed into Garance, bringing new hospitality and wellness facilities to the village.

Together, these developments add to the variety of experiences available to visitors across Morzine and the surrounding mountains.

Outlook & What's On

The first few weeks of December will be all about getting the ski season underway. Avoriaz is scheduled to open on 11 December, followed by the Morzine-Les Gets ski area on 19 December. The wider Portes du Soleil is also scheduled to begin its main season on 19 December, with the available terrain depending on snow and operational conditions.

Away from the pistes, the Spartan Winter Trail returns to Morzine on Sunday 13 December. Runners will tackle snowy mountain trails, with 10km and 21km routes planned through the surrounding Alpine scenery. It's a different way to experience the mountains and one of the first major sporting events on the winter calendar.

The festive season gets underway with Morzine en Scène's Rebellion at the North Pole on Wednesday 16 December at 17:30. Taking place at the Palais des Sports, the family-friendly performance tells the story of a Christmas workshop thrown into chaos, with plenty of humour and festive surprises along the way.

From 20 December to 1 January, Morzine will transform into an Enchanted Village, with festive entertainment, music, family workshops and activities taking place around the resort. Father Christmas is expected to make his traditional appearance on 24 December, while New Year's Eve celebrations will bring music and entertainment to the village centre.

Getting Ready for the Ski Season

If you're heading to Morzine in the coming weeks, now is a good time to get the final details of your trip organised. Whether it's arranging airport transfers, booking ski hire and lessons, or reserving a table at your favourite mountain restaurant, a little preparation can make those first days on the slopes much easier.

If you're visiting before the Morzine-Les Gets ski area opens on 19 December, it's worth checking access to Avoriaz. The Prodains Express and Super-Morzine gondolas provide routes towards the higher ski area, although their operating arrangements should be confirmed before travelling.

During the opening weeks, keep an eye on the latest lift and piste updates, particularly if you're planning to explore several areas of the Portes du Soleil.

Snow Takeaway

The wait is nearly over, and Morzine is getting ready for another winter in the Portes du Soleil. With Avoriaz scheduled to open on 11 December and the Morzine-Les Gets slopes following on 19 December, there are plenty of opportunities to look forward to as the ski season gets underway.

New activities around the Nyon Plateau, developments in Avoriaz and a busy festive calendar will provide plenty to enjoy both on and off the slopes. As always at this time of year, higher elevations are likely to offer the best chance of early-season skiing, with further terrain opening as conditions allow.
