Morzine ski area boasts 37 slopes altogether (3 green, 16 blue, 15 red, 3 black) and we decided to select the 5 best ones for you… Not an easy task because we love them all. So we thought long and hard, and after skiing down these slopes countless times, we made our choice!<br>This list is obviously not exhaustive (or objective), and it’s possible that your favourite one isn’t in it. Let us know if that’s the case!
1-L’Aigle (RED)
This is the ULTIMATE slope at the Pointe de Nyon! (Before skiing down this slope, we recommend stopping off at the Pas de L’Aigle footbridge where you’ll have an exceptional view from Lake Geneva to Mont-Blanc!)
From the peak all the way down to the plateau, the Aigle Rouge is a fantastic winding slope that you can ski down all in one go, or stop off at each bend (to give your thighs a rest and admire the view across the ski area and village down below).
And of course, just like any other red slope, this one is only suitable for intermediate or advanced skiers (that’s our recommendation anyway)!
If you’d like to come and have some fun on this slope, follow the slopes towards the Nyon sector and take the Pointe de Nyon chairlift.
2-L’Arbis (red)
If you’re near the Chamossière sector, the Arbis is the red slope to your right when you arrive on the chairlift. The slope departs from the peak at 2,002 metres and there are some stunning views of the surrounding peaks.<br>If you’re feeling brave once you’ve been down this slope, go back up the Chamossière chairlift and when you arrive, go left to the Creux, a long black slope with some fantastic moguls! Perfect to really get your thighs burning.
3-Les Granges (blue)
You’re likely to come across this slope while out skiing here because it is the link between Le Pleney and Nyon.<br>For the most part, it is a blue slope that remains suitable for all levels of ability, with gentle slopes and some flat sections (so remember to pick up the speed here to make it easier for yourself!)
The highlight of this slope is the section through the snow-covered fir trees, which also just happens to be flat so you can slow down and admire your surroundings. This section never ceases to amazes us!
4-Le Stade (red)
Even if you’ve never seen the name before, this slope isn’t new to you because it’s that superb one that leads directly into the village, below Le Pleney. You can see this slope from a distance and you’ve most likely already said to yourself “that slope looks like a great one”.
It’s a red slope that is fairly steep so only take it on if you’re a comfortable skier (and if you find yourself here by accident, don’t panic, just take your time and ski down in slow and sweeping turns!).
5-La Piste B (blue)
Fancy ending your day on a blue slope?
If you choose to end with the La Piste B slope, you’ll be able to ski all the way back down into the village (or if you’re heading back to Le Pleney, this is your last slope).
This slope is 3 km long and is fairly wide so you’ll have all the time and space you need to practice turning and improve your technique!
The moment that Morzine comes into view between the fir trees at the end of the slope is always magical, and also a sign that it’s time to enjoy the après-ski festivities!
