Ski Area Information

Morzine, a picturesque old-style Savoyarde town, is centrally located in the massive Portes de Soleil ski area, reputed to be the largest linked ski area in the world. Ski from France into Switzerland and back and never touch the same run twice! The area is suitable for every level of skier.

Beginners

Morzine is a fantastic resort in which to learn to ski with its gentle nursery slopes at Le Pleney and the excellent English speaking French ski-school. There are also plenty of starter slopes at both Avoriaz and Les Gets.

Intermediates

Intermediate skiers should buy a Portes du Soleil lift pass, to get full advantage of the 140 possible runs across the resorts. Amazing variety of open bowl and tree lined pistes to challenge all levels.

Advanced

Expert skiers will relish the challenge of all that is on offer in the Portes du Soleil area. With a total of 13 resorts to visit, it is possible to virtually never ski the same run twice. Off-piste enthusiasts will enjoy the Chamoissiere Valley, while mogul fiends need look no further than the infamous "Swiss Wall".

Snowboarding

Highly recommended for the ultimate snow-boarding vacation

Les Portes du Soleil certainly comes up with the goods. There are over 650km of open groomed runs and a permanent half-pipe at Avoriaz.
