Morillon Reviews & Ratings

Was nice we stayed in Morillon but skied all off grand massif which is good if you are an experienced skiing but if your a beginner you can also just stay in the Morillon area

The resort area of Gran Massif is huge compared to other ski resorts I have been to. With five main towns that are connected by loads of runs, there were so many options and variety to make every one of our 6 days different! Ski bus was free without having to present lift pass. The ski pass is reasonably priced considering what you have access to. In March, the bottom half of the mountains had no snow and it was T-shirt weather in Morillon, so the piste map which is all white can be misleading. However, even with this in mind, the slopes that were accessible covered a huge area. Due to bluebird days, it was quite icy in the morning after being groomed making it more challenging/quick for boarding, but it didn’t take long (11ish) before the sun melted through the top layer to make the slopes a bit more forgiving. Flaine was deffo the most popular/busiest area. We preferred Les Carroz for the wide slopes, gondolas and quieter slopes. Will visit again.

Lovely quiet resort. 2 restaurants. Lovely piste. Ski school instructors are great but the company is a bit badly managed.

Been going there for years and it's been amazing but past couple of years the snow has been very poor which hasn't helped and can't be helped- have appt of loyalty to the place so always want to return!

Great resort for blue and reds. Been several times. Restaurants are great and self catering is easy too.

Really very friendly resort. Residents and tourists all got along very well. Great access to a large snow sure resort. Overall value for money was excellent. Easy access from Geneva.

Nice resort and friendly restaurants and hotel.
Unfortunately when we went there wasn't enough snow to ski down into the village which was a shame. Plenty of blue/red runs to ski, though not always very easy to find runs or lifts.

Morillon and the wider Grand Massif area is the best I’ve ever skied hands down. When the snow there is good, it’s a world beater.

Loved it so much the ski school were super professional and helpful and the resort itself was small but friendly with plenty of options for beginners and intermediates

Easy access from valley with free parking. Good selection of lift options to speed you to the top where you can explore the valleys.

Morillon 1100 is a family friendly, no cars resort. All you need for a great ski trip. This is not a party resort, but great for kids and beginners. It links to the rest of the Grand Massif which gives options for all levels and a huge variety of off-piste as well. The runs are wide and well groomed and the lift system is fast and all the links are well thought out and clear. Signage and edge of run marking are also very good. Its busy in Feb, but the rest of the time its very relaxed. Go, you will love it!

Morillon on its own isn’t a hugely extensive resort but it is part of the Grande Massif which is. The benefits of staying in Morillon is its cheaper than other ones in the Grande Massif, it has good tree runs if the weather is bad, including one of the best greens in the Alps called Marvel. Great long run for beginners but enjoyable for advanced too especially at the end if the day. We had a couple of bad weather days where they closed the lifts at Samoens and Les Caroz but Morillon always stayed open. If theres lots of snow you can ski all the way to the village otherwise the main cable car goes down. Its probably not the resort if you want bars and nightlife, but if you want a resort close to Geneva airport, cheaper accommodation with good access to the Grand Massif then Morillon is a good option. The lifts are quick and efficient.

Family friendly, 1100 is a car- free resort. Restaurants and bars are all friendly and well run. Supermarkets and bakery as well a good choice of ski-hire shops. 70mins from Geneva. Ski-school is ESF, very efficient. Great links to the other resorts in the Grand Massif. A number of new, faster lifts have gone in over the last couple of years makes skiing even better.

Excellent ski area with great connections to the Grand Massif. Beautiful tree lined runs, gorgeous views, lovely restaurants. Skiing wonderful.... suitable for all abilities.

When links to flaine and rest of grand massif are open this is an amazing ski resort to stay in. Really beautiful, lots of blues and reds in the area. Have been twice and would return again!

The Grand Massif is a great linked ski area which caters for all abilities and very family friendly. Close to Geneva and easily accessible by car or public transport.

Clear runs, well looked after, no lift queues. Good variety for beginner and experienced skiers. Good access across the grand massif

Morillon is very well linked with the rest of the Grand massif huge ski area. We were a mixed group of intermediates and advances and had a good mix of slopes available to suit all levels. Dont expect wild night life though!

Morillon is a part of Grand Masiff ski area in the beautiful part of French Alps 40 min from Geneva airport.
My son (snowboarder) and I (skier) have taken the full opportunity to explore all resorts in Grand Masiff which consist of Samöens, Morillon, Les Carroz, Flaine and Sixt resorts. For full 7 days over Christmas and New Year 2024/25 we have explored all resorts in Grand Massif using Morillon 700 gondola as a base. We have stayed in Verchaix, just across the beautiful Giffre river from Morillon gondola and 10 min walk from accommodation to the gondola station. All above mentioned resorts are interconnected with great quality speedy chairlifts which makes exploration of them a breeze and makes your day fully enjoyable as all the runs you take to connection chairlifts have different terrain levels and open the amazing views around every corner you take! Not the most exiting but most memorable run is Cascades from Flaine to Sixt, its a 14km long blue run which starts at the top of Flaine accessible by Les Grandes Platieres gondola from Flaine bowl. As you exit the gondola, right in front of you the is the Mont Blanc range with breathtaking views with Aiguille Du MIDI clearly defining the position of Mont Blanc to the right of it.
Your descent in to Sixt start at this point and takes you through the ridge of Flaine dropping down to the Cascades run with plenty of fresh pow either side on the first highest section of the run, then it goes in to the valley and becomes more like a true blue run with some sections which could be considered as a red run about midway. Cascades run is almost always empty due to misconception about how to get back to the main part of Grand Massif from Sixt. No need to worry about that! Grand Masiff has a free ski bus service which takes you from the bottom of Cascades to the Samoëns Village Grand Masiff Express gondola in leasurly 15 min drive, so from the time you arrive to Sixt to the time you are back at Samöens 1600 is a 30-40 min and wherever in any of the resorts you stay, you can access all the runs with Grand Masiff ski pass, there is an option of purchasing just 4villages ski pass (Morillon, Samöens, Les Carroz and Sixt) which excludes the Flaine resort chairlifts and gondolas but for 3 price difference compared to Grand Masiff pass its hardly a saving and you get soo much enjoyment in higher slopes of Flaine! All in all, the Grand Masiff is our choice for a second year running which offers soo many activities for non skiers as well as slopes crazy people!
Safe skiing everyone!

Compact little resort with very quiet pistes, no queueing for lifts. Staying in Les Esserts, the middle station makes it much more convenient especially with kids but this drastically reduces the apres ski and dining out options. Limited advanced runs unless you head over to the Flaine area
