Frequently asked questions about Morillon

Where is Morillon?

Morillon is in Haute-Savoie (Grand Massif), France, with the base at 700 m and the top at 2480 m.

When does Morillon open?

Morillon has not announced its opening date for the 2026/27 season yet. Our own estimate, based on the resort's altitude and its past seasons, puts it around December 13, 2026: that is a forecast, not an announcement. The resort confirms the date each autumn and we keep it up to date at https://www.caranva.app/en/esqui/fechas-apertura/morillon.

When does Morillon close?

Morillon is expected to close for the 2026/27 season on April 19, 2027. The real date depends on how the snow holds up at the top (2480 m) late in the season, and the resort usually announces it only a few weeks ahead: the up-to-date version is at https://www.caranva.app/en/esqui/fechas-apertura/morillon.

How much snow is there in Morillon and are the lifts open?

It changes daily and the resort itself publishes it every morning: snow depth by altitude, open runs and open lifts. The Morillon daily report and forecast are at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/francia/morillon, and the live cameras at https://www.caranva.app/en/webcams/esqui/morillon. When it blows hard, the most exposed lifts are usually the upper ones (2480 m), so it is worth checking before driving up.

At what altitude do you ski in Morillon?

Between 700 and 2480 metres, a vertical drop of 1780 m. That difference is why the snow is not the same across the whole resort on the same day: the upper slopes hold up better late in the season, while the lower part, at 700 m, is the first to feel rain or warm weather. That is why the Morillon report is read by altitude band, at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/francia/morillon.

Where can I rent skis in Morillon?

On Caranva you book the full kit for Morillon — skis, boots and poles, or a snowboard if you prefer — at https://www.caranvasports.com/products/ski-rental-morillon: you pick the dates and give your height, weight, shoe size and level, and the gear is waiting assembled with the bindings set to those figures. You pay online, you skip the sizing counter, and you can swap the gear in the shop if something does not fit. The alternative is walking into a shop at the resort on a first-come basis, which over a bank holiday or at Christmas means queuing for whatever is left.

Can I watch Morillon on a webcam?

Yes. The live Morillon webcams, with piste conditions and the snow report, are at https://www.caranva.app/en/webcams/esqui/morillon.
