Christmas week has arrived in Morzine and the resort feels settled into winter now. The village is busy, the mountains above are well covered, and there is a real festive hum around town as skiers and families arrive for the holidays. Recent cold nights have helped firm up the snowpack, and there is a sense that conditions are more reliable than they were earlier in December, particularly once you head higher into the Portes du Soleil.
Snow and Weather Summary
Current snow depths across the Morzine area sit at around 120 cm on upper slopes, with approximately 35 to 45 cm reported at village level. The best natural snow cover remains at altitude, especially on north facing runs and higher links toward Avoriaz, where conditions are skiing well and holding up through the day. Over the past week there has been light snowfall combined with cold overnight temperatures, which has helped refresh pistes and preserve snow quality. Daytime temperatures in the village have been hovering a few degrees above freezing, while higher elevations remain colder, keeping snow in good shape on prepared runs. The freezing level has generally stayed above village level during the day but drops back overnight, allowing snowmaking to continue where needed. Winds have been light, making for comfortable skiing conditions across most open terrain.
