Morzine / Ski area
The local skiing in Morzine is divided into three sectors. Pleney above the town to the west, Super Morzine to the east ? and the main ski-link to Avoriaz - and Nyon-Chamossierre to the south.Pleney
Pleney is the main mountain and where the local ski schools hang out. The summit is a broad plateau ideal for beginners and good long blues weave through the trees to the village below. Anyone other than experts can easily enjoy a half day or more here. Challenging skiing is limited although there is the Stade de Slalom down the face of the mountain ? ideal for showing off to the spectators on the terrace of the Hotel L?Equipe.
Nyon-Chamossiere
For more testing runs, head across to Nyon-Chamossiere. A couple of routes connect from the Pleney summit and take you to lifts to the Nyon Plateau. From there many blues and reds slope back to Morzine or around to Les Gets but for a tougher test you can head up to the Pointe de Nyon. L?Aigle starts out red zig-zagging from the summit and then ends with optional black bumps ? it often has bumpy patches following a line straight down.
From the Plateau you can also ski across to Chamossiere ? a single peak with one chairlift but a great bumpy black under the chair and a stiff red on the other side. In good conditions there?s a lot of good just-off-piste to the sides of both.
Super Morzine
In contrast, Super Morzine is mainly a route to Avoriaz but on sunny days it?s a great place for beginners and intermediates to practice their turns on wide, open pistes.
