Ski holidays Les Portes du Soleil

About Les Portes du Soleil

One of the largest winter sport resorts in the world is Les Portes du Soleil.

In France these are: Avoriaz, Abondance, Les Gets, Châtel, La Chapelle d'Abondance, Saint-Jean d'Aulps, Morzine and Montriond. In Switzerland these are: Champéry, Morgins, Val d'Illiez, Les Crosets, Champoussin and Torgon.

Snowboarding Les Portes du Soleil

A ski holiday with everything a snowboarder could wish for: a few plate-lifts, lots of off-piste opportunities and some great boardercross slopes (especially those in Nyon, near Morzine), as well as snow parks. The off-piste runs from the Col du Fornet are great, and offer almost all year round an abundance of powder. Snowboarders that like to descend past the tree lines can enjoy beautiful areas in the Les Gets neighborhood.
