About Les Portes du Soleil:
Straddling the border between France and Switzerland, Les Portes du Soleil is one of the largest and most celebrated ski areas in the world. Nestled on the slopes of the Chablais massif, between Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc, this vast international domain links 12 characterful resorts across two countries and three valleys, creating a unique cross-border skiing experience.
With 650 km of pistes, the area offers an exceptional variety for every level of skier. Beginners can enjoy wide, confidence-building slopes in resorts such as Les Gets or Morzine, while intermediate skiers will love the long cruising runs that flow effortlessly from village to village. Advanced skiers and freeride enthusiasts can head to Avoriaz, Châtel or the Swiss sector for steeper terrain, snowparks and off-piste routes. Thanks to an extensive and modern lift system, exploring multiple resorts in a single day is seamless and rewarding.
Beyond skiing, Les Portes du Soleil is as much about lifestyle as it is about sport. Snowshoe through alpine forests, explore charming Savoyard villages, relax on sunny terraces, or enjoy a vibrant après-ski scene that ranges from cosy mountain inns to lively bars. Each resort has its own personality, offering ever-changing panoramas and unforgettable alpine moments throughout your stay.
