The little extras of spring skiing
FAQ
What is spring snow?
The temperature variations typical of spring change the nature of the snow compared to winter conditions. As the day progresses, the sun softens the upper layer of the snow, making it more forgiving and enjoyable to ski on. This softer snow is particularly appreciated by beginner skiers, as it provides a more comfortable and confidence-inspiring experience on the slopes.
So, if you're looking for the best spring snow conditions, there's no need to rush onto the slopes first thing in the morning! For early risers, however, we recommend ensuring your ski edges are well sharpened and maintaining good balance and control, as morning conditions can sometimes be icy.

Is it still possible to ski in March and April?
Yes, absolutely! Skiing is still possible in March and April, as many resorts, including Morzine and Avoriaz, remain open well into the spring season.
At this time of year, snow coverage is generally still excellent at altitudes between 1,000 and 2,000 metres, allowing skiers of all abilities to continue enjoying the slopes for several more weeks. Spring skiing also offers longer days, milder temperatures and a relaxed atmosphere, making it a great time to experience the mountains.

How should I dress for spring skiing in Morzine?
In addition to bringing the appropriate ski equipment (skis, helmet, ski boots, etc.), it is important to choose the right clothing for spring conditions. While the milder temperatures mean you won't need to wrap up as much as in mid-winter, it is still essential to protect yourself from changing mountain weather.
A lightweight three-layer clothing system is ideal, allowing you to stay comfortable throughout the day while adapting to temperature changes.
Don't forget your sun protection either. Sunscreen, sunglasses and a cap will help protect you from the sun's rays, both on and off the slopes.
