Morillon, France
Description: Morillon village was built up around the 16th century church of St Chrisophe in the beautiful Giffre Valley. The resort is on 35 miles (1 hour) from Geneva airport and a 15-minute drive from the motorway exit & TGV train station of Cluses. It is one of the 5 resorts that is part of the giant Grand Massif (Flaine) ski area with 77 lifts covering 265km of piste. At the same time Morillon manages to retain its individual character as a small resort much loved by generations of French families. It holds the official ‘Les p’tits Montagnards’ label for its superb children facilities. We warmly recommend the ‘Village des Enfants’, which cares for skiing and non-skiing children aged between 6 months and 10 years. Weekly torchlight descents, concerts, wine and food tasting, and a variety of activities for children are all part of an extensive winter programme of entertainment. Value-for-money restaurants make eating out a pleasure while a ‘traiteur’ produces first class regional food to take away. Morillon 1100 (Les Esserts), is the the purpose built sport resort 5.5km above Morillon village and is very much a pedestrian family friendly resort with 3000 beds in the middle of the forest. It offers a small selection of restaurants and bars, a few shops and mini-supermarket. The ’Village des Enfants’ children facility is based at Les Esserts.
