Snow Report, 21 December 2023
We did get the forecast cooler weather at the end of last week and some new snow. It’s been a sunny start to the week in Morzine with milder temperatures than normal, although temperatures dropping and cloudier from Wednesday with light snowfall. For this time of the season, snow depths above 1800/2000 metres are very good. Read below for more information on Morzine opening on Saturday 23 December.
Thursday and Friday this week will remain cold with around 17cm of new snow, a maximum temperature of around 1°C and a freezing level down to 1500 metres. From Saturday it’s looking like we will have a sunny and warmer few days over Christmas. Towards the end of next week, from Thursday it will be cooling down again and we could be in for quite a lot of snow! But that’s quite far out to call accurately yet!
Christmas week is here and the resort is buzzing with families, twinkling with pretty lights and the big man himself can be seen darting around the resort with his elves in tow. Enjoy après-ski and vin chaud or hot chocolate as you wait for the big day to arrive.
You’ll see ESF instructors leading their torchlit descents and fireworks will light the skies.

Planning ahead
If you are heading out to celebrate New Year’s Eve - book now! The bars and restaurants only have limited space, the resort will be full and some restaurants are offering two sittings. You will find it difficult to get into places if you haven’t booked your table in advance.
January is a fabulous time to ski in Morzine. The snow is good, the slopes are quieter, accommodation is normally better value and flights are cheaper. It’s easier to get your favourite table in your preferred mountain restaurant in January. Check out What's on in January in Morzine.
So if you haven’t planned your winter ski holiday yet, check out some of the great chalets and offers.
