The huge Portes du Soleil offers a seemingly endless expanse of runs and no fewer than 12 individual resorts to explore. The skiing is not only expansive, but also includes lots of high altitude in wide open snow bowls above 2,000m, so whenever you travel, the snow follows! There are also plenty of picturesque tree lined runs down to many of the villages including Morzine and Les Gets. From the contemporary architecture of Avoriaz to the chocolate box charm of Morzine, the area offers variety to suit all tastes, and there are long, leisurely ski days to be enjoyed, crossing over to Switzerland before skiing back to France.
