Morzine Snow Report & Forecast

Discover the latest Morzine snow conditions

Imprint
By Nye Erskine, Updated

Morzine heads into March with a calm and settled feel across the valley. Snow remains visible throughout the village and the slopes rising towards Avoriaz and the Nyon sector still carry a healthy base. The busy holiday weeks have passed and the pace on the mountain has eased slightly, leaving the pistes well maintained and the wider Portes du Soleil area skiing reliably as spring approaches.

Snow and Weather Summary

Current snow depths are around 45 to 65 cm at resort level in Morzine at 1000 metres, with significantly deeper coverage higher up. At altitude above 2000 metres, depths are generally between 170 and 230 cm, particularly around the Avoriaz sector at 1800 metres and the higher terrain above. A light snowfall of around 5 to 10 cm has fallen recently on the upper slopes, improving the surface conditions across exposed areas and adding a fresh layer on top of an established base.

Temperatures have ranged from minus 9 to minus 4 degrees on the upper slopes and between minus 1 and plus 6 degrees in the village depending on sunshine. The freezing level has generally sat between 1600 and 2000 metres during the day, dropping overnight which has helped preserve the quality of the pistes after grooming. Winds have been mostly light with occasional moderate gusts on the highest lifts but overall conditions have remained stable.

On piste, the best snow quality is found above 1800 metres where the surface remains firm and grippy for much of the day. North facing slopes around Avoriaz and the higher Portes du Soleil connections are holding particularly well. Lower runs back towards Morzine ski best during the morning before softening slightly during sunnier periods in the afternoon. Coverage across the main links between resorts remains dependable.

Outlook & Whatโ€™s On

The forecast for the coming days suggests a mix of sunshine and occasional cloud with the possibility of light snowfall at higher elevations later in the week. Freezing levels are expected to fluctuate but should continue to drop overnight which will help maintain the overall snow quality. Any fresh snow would mainly benefit the upper slopes where conditions are already strongest.

Morzine continues to host a lively programme of events in early March including live music, family activities and village entertainment organised through the tourist office. With the peak holiday crowds gone the atmosphere feels relaxed while the slopes remain in good condition across the wider ski area.

Weather outlook as of: 9 March 2026. As I am sure you are aware, accurately forecasting weather more than two or three days ahead in the mountains is notoriously tricky. If there is a significant change we will update this section before the next full weekly snow report.

Snow Takeaway

Morzine is skiing best above 1800 metres where snow depth and surface quality remain strongest, particularly across the Avoriaz sector and the higher Portes du Soleil links. Lower runs back into the village are best enjoyed earlier in the day before any afternoon softening. With a solid base at altitude, conditions across the area remain dependable as March continues.
