Home of the 2006 Olympic Downhill Champion, Morillon in the Grand Massif ski area is 1 hours drive from Geneva, or 2 hours from Chambery, and 20 minutes from the Geneva-Chamonix motorway . For skiers and snowboarders there are 260 kilometres of linked pistes on one lift pass. Morillon 1100 is a purpose built chalet style village linked by road, pistes and telecabine to the traditional village of Morillon. There is no need to drive to and from the lifts (as there is in Samoens), so you can ski to the apartment. Morillon 1100 has a Ski School (and Nursery), Ski hire shops, Restaurants, Bars, and a Supermarket. The old town of Samoens is 15 minutes drive away. The resorts of Flaine, Samoens, Les Carroz and Sixt are easily reached by blue and red ski runs. In the summer the lake and river offer a wide range of activities, including swimming, mountain biking, tennis, mini-golf, rafting, parapente, and golf. Lake Geneva and Chamonix are less than an hour away. Short breaks are available.
Other Activities: Snowboarding, parapente, river rafting, tree top zip wires.
Ski: The Grand Massif Ski area is one of the biggest in France. It has excellent lift and piste links between Morillon, Samoens, Les Carroz, Flaine and the famous 16 kilometer Cascade run from the top of flaine to Sixt-Fer-a-Cheval.
If you are based in Morillon 1100, there is no need to drive or take a bus to and from the lifts (as you do in Samoens). You can ski door to door. Most of the runs in Morillon are wide blues and reds through the trees ,with a Nursery area and Jam Park for the children. The slopes of Les Carroz are 1 lift away and it takes about half an hour to ski to Flaine or Samoens. The Grand Massif (hands free) lift pass covers all these areas and also includes a days skiing in nearby Les Gets, Morzine and the rest of the Portes de Soleil.
