Snowboarding Portes du Soleil

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