Morillon &
Morillon 1100
Morillon is a charming Savoyard village built
around a 16th century church in the beautiful Giffre
Valley. It manages to retain its individual character
as a small resort much loved by generations of French
families.
Morillon is one of the 5 resorts that is part of the
giant Grand Massif (Flaine) ski area with 77 lifts
covering 265km of piste. Morillon holds the official
‘Famille Plus Montagne’ label for its
superb children facilities. We warmly recommend the
‘Village des Enfants’, which cares for
skiing and non-skiing children aged between 6 months
and 10 years.
Weekly torchlight descents, concerts, wine and food
tasting, and a variety of activities for children are
all part of an extensive winter programme of
entertainment.

Morillon 1100 (Les Esserts), the purpose built
resort above Morillon village is very much a
pedestrian family friendly resort. It offers a small
selection of restaurants and bars, a few shops and
mini-supermarket. The ‘Village des
Enfants’ children facility is based at Les
Esserts. Les Esserts can be reached by fast gondola
or by car (an eight-minute drive) from Morillon
village.
Extensive off-piste opportunities are an added
bonus. Snowboarders and twin-tip skiers have a
choice of three purpose built terrain parks. Snow
record from Morillon 1100 is generally good, and well
above other resorts of same altitude. Snow cannons
allow a useful top-up early and late season (from
mid-April).
Cross country - Member of the “France
Ski de Fond” organisation, the cross country
area proposes 94.5km of trails for the
‘traditional’ or the
‘skating’ way of skiing, which will
please you, show you the entire valley and lead you
to the fabulous Cirque du Fer a Cheval.
