Sledding and Ski slopes in Morillon 1100

The Grand Massif provides a natural environment and varied landscapes wherever you stand. Whether you're in one of the 5 village resorts that constitute it. Each village has preserved its authentic character, which is what makes it so charming.
The Grand Massif resorts will give you a unique skiing experience. Alpine skiing, snowboarding, Nordic skiing, snowshoeing - snow lovers will be won over by the sumptuous virgin spaces of the Grand Massif!

The area generally benefits from a privileged snow coverage (80% of the slopes are exposed to the north, which favors a good snow holding).
A particularity of Morillon, a village located at 700 m of altitude: the red Doïna slope which connects Morillon-Les Esserts to Morillon-Village (departure of the gondola), that is to say a difference in altitude of 400 m, has snow cannons along its entire length which ensure a return to the village on skis.
It's more than a particularity, it's unique!

In addition to downhill skiing, cross-country skiing and ski touring, snowshoeing, walking on the many hiking trails (daytime or night-time outings), sledding, as well as indoor skating rink, ski joëring, dog sledding, snow scooters, gliding / paragliding / hang-gliding (solo or duo) and fat e-bikes (electrically assisted bicycles) complete the winter leisure activities in Morillon and the Haut-Giffre.

More simply, what would the mountains be without building a snowman or an igloo, and without the fierce snowball fights that bring together all generations?

And because not everyone skis or likes to take a break, there are also visits to eco-museums, cheese dairies, farms and remarkable sites of which Haute-Savoie is not lacking.
