Skiing And Snow Boarding In The Portes Du Soleil

Skiing In The Portes Du SoleilThe Portes Du Soleil claims to be the world's largest ski area with 650km of linked pistes spread over 12 ski resorts, 7 in France and 5 in Switzerland.

The huge variety of terrain from the gentle tree lined slopes of Les Gets and Morzine to the steep, challenging world cup downhill course at Avoriaz or the infamous Swiss WALL in Le Croset, means that there is a great selection of all grades of pistes and is ideally suited to mixed ability groups and for family skiing holidays.

The Portes Du Soleil area is both skier and snow boarder friendly. The 3 board parks of Mont Chery, Le Croset and Avoriaz means you can while away the hours taking big air and practicing those grabs. For hardcore snowboarders there is the half pipe in Avoriaz situated near the lift so an audience is guaranteed! For both skiers and snowboarders there is loads of off-piste skiing easily accessed from the lifts just waiting to be discovered!


One of the main attractions of the Portes Du Soleil is it's sheer size and the stunning scenery. Our ski guiding service is designed to allow you to get the most out of the area.

Take a look at the Portes Du Soleil piste map.

Ski Guiding Service

Ski Guide in MorzineHow nice would it be not to have to constantly look at the map to figure out where you are and how you are going to get to that restaurant you arranged to meet the rest of the group in for lunch?

We offer a free ski guiding service 3 days a week which will help you familiarise yourselves with the area. Our local knowledge of great routes, the best restaurants and how to avoid any queues will ensure you can just concentrate on your skiing or boarding. Our service is designed for intermediates i.e. confident, red run skiers and snow boarders.

If the conditions are good and you can handle an early start then we can take you on the circuit which takes in Avoriaz, Linga, Chatel, Super Chatel, Champoussin, Morgin, Torgon and back to Morzine!!

As well as showing you the best skiing in the area we can also recommend many excellent mountain restaurants, La Pomme De Pin at Lindaret, Le Vieux Chalet at Plan Dranse, La Rossetaz in Les Gets and Le Plateau De Nyon at Nyon in Morzine are a few of our favourites.
