Morzine Easter Skiing Myth Buster
Who is skiing at Easter in Morzine for? Hint: everyone!
I blooming LOVE skiing in April. The vibe is EXCELLENT. The mountain is full of people who really love winter sports, soaking in every moment of the sun-filled days.
Families love the warmer weather. Skiers get longer days. Beginners get gentler conditions. And if you like dining alfresco with an ice-cold glass of rosé… Easter skiing was practically invented for it.
And yet Easter skiing gets an unfair bad rap. Maybe it’s because Easter feels like the end of the season. Or because people assume the snow will have disappeared, the lifts will be closing early and they’ll be paying peak-season prices.
However the numbers tell a rather different story. Easter skiing myth-busting!
