4. Night skiing

After the sun sets and the ski slopes slowly begin to close, it’s usually time to return to the villa for a warming drink and a little comradery with fellow skiers, but now you can experience a completely new environment, for skiing. If you are looking for a unique skiing adventure, you must try night skiing. The floodlit mountain slopes will provide you the opportunity to squeeze in a few more runs but be sure you always ski with a buddy when it gets dark – it’s safer and more fun. The ski resorts in France are becoming more and more equipped for nighttime skiing and Morzine is well ahead of the curve.
