Snowsartre, Good news is there is loads of skiing for intermediates and advanced. The area links up pretty well and its easy to find good runs for your ability. There is one main gondola up from Morillon to Morillon 1100 where there are then two lifts which split, one all the way to the top and another half way up but then accesses another lift to cut across towards Samoens. We used whichever was quietest and let that dictate our initial route but to be honest even at half term we never queued for long at all.
Lots of tree lined runs with some good off piste down into the Les Carroz sector. If cloudy head for that and you can keep busy all day. The bowl at Flaine is good and easy enough to get to. I will have a look back at my last visit to find names of restaurants etc later as I can't recall their names off the bat. There will be plenty of more experienced SH's along in due course I'm sure who know the area very well to offer ideas.

@Snowsartre, just back from morillon, we only ate out once at le puzze bit last minute but food was great and staff were fab, they have a pizza take away next door and my boys had one on sat eve and they demolished the lot so it must of been good  bars are a bit quiet but a nice feel to most. Samoens is more lively (only just) but wherever there is a grand Bierre I was happy.

Another vote for L'Igloo - lovely. Great variety of pistes in the area , tree lined and above. Green, reds and blues, Sairon blue (my favourite in Morillon) Husband who is advanced spent lots of time going over to Flaine (very good fast lifts over there and more challenging terrain. When I went with him I loved skiing the Tourmaline to get there . Beautiful runs down to La Carroz and cruisy runs over to Samoens which he enjoyed at speed. We also enjoyed skiing the Marvel at the end of the day - A green run but so picturesque a proper run and not a track as so many greens often are. Went a couple of years ago and have decided to go back this year staying in Morillon 1100 again (lots of apartments you can ski back too). Just need more snow. 2 years ago you could ski right back down to Morillon village. Hope you have a great time.
