Why is Easter a good time to ski in Morzine? 

If you’re looking for the perfect blend of sunshine, soft snow, and relaxed alpine charm, Easter is one of the best times to ski in Morzine.  Our picturesque French village in the heart of the Portes du Soleil has long been a favourite for families and mixed-ability groups — and visiting in spring brings a whole new layer of magic.  Easter in Morzine brings together the best of both worlds — great skiing conditions, beautiful weather, family-friendly fun, and excellent value. Whether you’re chasing the last turns of the season or soaking up the spring sunshine with friends, Morzine in late March and April is hard to beat.

1. Longer Days, Sunnier Skies

By Easter, the days in the Alps are gloriously long. You can enjoy leisurely morning coffees on sun-drenched terraces before heading up for a day on the slopes. The snow typically stays in great shape on the higher runs and north-facing slopes, while the warmer temperatures make for a much more comfortable skiing experience — no frozen fingers or fogged-up goggles!

2. Great Snow in the Higher Portes du Soleil

Thanks to its link with Avoriaz, Morzine gives you easy access to some of the best late-season skiing in the region. Avoriaz sits at 1,800m and usually holds its snow well into April. The interlinked lift system means you can ski high in the morning, then enjoy Morzine’s sunny lower slopes and lively après later in the day — the best of both worlds.

3. Perfect for Families

Easter coincides with the school holidays, and Morzine knows how to make families feel at home. The resort puts on plenty of family-friendly activities — from Easter egg hunts and sledging to torchlit descents and outdoor music. The milder weather also means little ones can spend more time outside without getting cold, making lessons and playtime on the slopes even more enjoyable.

4. Fantastic Value

Compared to the peak February half-term rush, Easter often brings lower prices on accommodation, ski passes, and flights. Many chalets and hotels run spring discounts, and you’ll often find excellent deals on self-catered apartments. With fewer crowds and more relaxed travel days, it’s an ideal time to enjoy a luxury ski break without the premium cost.  Alptitude Chalets are offering an exclusive 10% discount* on a stay in any remaining available property between March 28th and April 20th 2026.  Use code BUNNY26 and 10% will be deducted from the balance.

*Only available on new bookings made after 7.10.25

5. Après-Ski and Village Vibes

Morzine in spring has a wonderfully laid-back energy. The village terraces are buzzing, the atmosphere is sociable, and there’s a real sense of celebration in the air. Long lunches, cold rosé in the sun, and live music at après-ski spots like Le Tremplin or Happy Hours Bar make Easter feel like one long, joyous holiday.

6. A Touch of Summer Meets Winter

There’s something special about skiing in the morning and wandering through blooming alpine meadows in the afternoon. By Easter, Morzine starts to reveal its green slopes and crystal-clear rivers beneath the melting snow — giving you a glimpse of the summer beauty that lies ahead. You can even swap ski boots for trainers and enjoy a sunny hike or mountain bike ride before dinner.
