Snow report, 27 February 2025
After a few mild days here in Morzine it’s all turned cold and white again. We had a great refresh of snow on Tuesday and overnight into Wednesday with the freezing level way down below resort level. This is due to a cold front reaching us and will likely remain in place until at least Sunday, keeping those temperatures down.
Current weather in Morzine
From today for the next couple of days we have a mixture of sun and clouds and a few snow showers. It will remain very cold during the day and at night with freezing temperatures dropping to around -4°C by Saturday night, but feeling a little colder.
However from Sunday which will still remain cold, it’s looking like full bluebird sunny days and the temperatures will rise from Monday with the freezing level up to about 2,000m during the day and down to around 1,750m at night
Sunny week coming up
Looks likely to stay dry, warm and sunny until at least next Friday, due to a high pressure area coming up from the Azores. There is a chance of precipitation next weekend, but that is way too far out to call accurately.
You’ll need plenty of sun screen when you’re out on the slopes and your sunglasses. Never underestimate the power of the sun in the mountains and the glare of the snow!
Avalanche risk
Avalanche risk is currently set at 3 (considerable) over 2,800m and lower it’s at 2 (moderate) below. There could be weak layers now hidden under the fresh new snow we had Tuesday. The more avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep shady slopes above the treeline.
Watch this
Last week of school holidays!
This weekend is the start of the final week of school holidays and it won’t be as busy as previous weeks as it is the last zone of the French holidays.
However, it is still a good idea to use our tips below for your optimum skiing experience!
To make the most of your time on the slopes, here are a few tips:
- To steer clear of the crowds, aim to ski during the off-peak times such as - early mornings, jump on the first lifts. Ski through lunchtime and enjoy a late lunch then ski again later in the afternoon when the mountain tends to be less busy.
- Be mindful of the ski school hotspots, meeting times and places and plan your route accordingly. If you must ski in these areas, try to do so at different times than the ski schools meet.
- Make the most of the holiday week by exploring all the additional activities and exciting fun events for all the family available in the resort.
- Be sure to catch the torchlight descents and fireworks displays.
- Always check the avalanche risk in resort and don't head off-piste if you don't have the up to date information, equipment and guidance.
And as the busy holiday time comes to an end, if you are taking your ski holiday in March, check out what’s happening in Morzine during March.
