Skiing - Les Portes du Soleil
Morzine is in the centre of the largest international linked ski area in world. The vast Portes du Soleil area offers an immense variety of runs for all standards of skiers and snowboarders, with over 650km of pistes, and more than 260 lifts spanning 13 linked resorts in both France and Switzerland.
Beginners
Both Morzine and Lindarets have ideal nursery slopes. With professional tuition from either the Ecole du Ski Francais (ESF) or the British Alpine Ski Schools, beginners will soon gain the skill and confidence to venture up the mountain to explore some of the gentle, tree lined pistes.
Intermediates
The Portes du Soleil opens up an enormous wealth of oppurtunities with blue and red runs inter-linking the whole area with wide open runs and tree-lined pistes. You can ski a different region of the Portes du Soleil each day for a week, and still you will not have skied the whole area. Enjoy a day skiing with our ski host (catered chalet guests only) and you will be able to ski the famous Portes du Soleil circuit. A round trip of over 80kms in which you ski through twelve resorts in both France and Switzerland all in one day.
Advanced
With a multitude of mogul fields, powder bowls and steep black pistes, which include the infamous "Wall" and an abundance of off-piste areas, even the most advanced skier would be hard pushed not to be impressed! We are able to direct you to some wonderful off-piste areas like the "Vallee de la Manche" and some hidden valleys that are, well, let's just say well-hidden! The Portes du Soleil has been our playground since 1997 and even now we are still discovering new off-piste routes and lines that we never knew existed.
Snowboarding
Welcome to the Snowboard capital of Europe! Les Portes du Soleil has eight dedicated snowboard parks, three half-pipes and 6 boarder-x courses, not to mention vast amounts of off-piste areas and powder couloirs to get the adrenaline pumping in even the most hardcore rider.
