Morzine snow report and forecast

Discover the latest Morzine snow conditions

Author Caro Blackwell, Destination Editor Updated 6 December 2024

It’s beginning to look and feel a lot like winter out here in Morzine. Snow capped peaks once again dominate our winter landscape and it’s really cold. It’s getting so close to the start of a new ski season now, who’s excited? We are excited to bring you an up to date snow report every week throughout the season.

Morzine opens fully on 21 December, but if we get a good snowfall early, there is talk of a partial weekend opening next weekend. If you are in the area, this weekend Avoriaz has announced they will be opening again with additional openings at Ardent and the Lindarets sector as well as Prodain lifts.

Friday through to Sunday we are expecting a snowfall of around 27cm, the heaviest to be on Saturday afternoon. The early part of this week was extremely cold and although it has warmed up a little for Thursday and Friday, we will see the temperature plummet at the weekend and it will be down to -9°C by Saturday night.

The freezing level earlier this week was down to around 1000m and is hovering around 1800m for the end of the week. This will drop down to around 850m at the weekend, with fresh south westerly winds on Saturday getting lighter into Sunday. The good news is that it looks like it will be staying cold with a low freezing level for the next few days, hard to predict after that.

Although the snow coverage is looking good, be aware that as this is early season and the off-piste areas will not have been skied much yet, so not well compacted and there is likely to be thin coverage in many places.
