Take the Sairon chairlift up to 1700m and enjoy the view over the Giffre Valley from the panoramic point of “La Croix des 7 Frères”, then ride down the mythical Marvel on a mountain bike, fatscoot or mountain board. Meanwhile, gourmets can opt for a meal or snack at the Ferme de la Vieille farm, with products straight from the producer or on the Chalet restaurant terrace. There are plenty of hiking trails leading to Samoëns, Les Carroz and the Plateau d’Agy. Between forest landscapes, mountain pastures and rocks, the trails are easy and do not require expert skills (although remember to bring appropriate equipment for a mountain excursion).

Agro-pastoral life in Morillon dates back to around 1450. The village was built around this life of toil and bears its names. Bergin is an ancient pasture, Biollaire was a place where birch trees were planted, the Charniaz plateau was a forest of planted oaks and the Alpage de la vieille pasture was farmed because it was a wetland, “ville” in patois meaning wet. With the decline of agriculture in the 1960s, the decision was taken to use these mountain pastures in winter, and in 1958 the first Morillon chairlift was built, linking the village to the Esserts plateau. As the ski slopes are only used in winter, the pastoral tradition has remained on the Morillon mountain pastures and today you can meet the animals that enjoy the benefits of the altitude in Morillon: cows, goats and sheep. The Ferme de la Vieille farm, which runs the mountain pastures, invites you to come and try the taste of the Morillon mountains through their cheese production The Alpage de la Vieille and the panoramic viewpoint of the Croix des 7 Frères are just as much part of the village’s heritage as its 16th-century church and the typical farms of the Giffre valley.
