Apartments, hotels,
kindergartens, children’s play and ski areas, wild and
woolly skiing, gentle beginner’s skiing and everything
in between. What can one say? Many people who “look
down” on purpose built resorts should come here and have
a look at what they achieved here. A mountain city, a
mountain resort from nothing. Absolutely nothing. Now
here’s the big plus. This
is all connected to the almost unlimited skiing offered on the whole
Portes Du Soleil. We are
talking Big! What’s our
definition of big ? Try 230
ski lifts, 650 kms of skiable terrain, 13 villages and two countries,
Switzerland and France. Big
enough? There is a ski pass covering just the Morzine/Avoriaz region,
or, if you are good enough, there is one which connects the whole ski
world mentioned above. Only
you know your abilities. A
six day pass will cost about FF 900 for adults this year for the
whole of Portes, with a good reduction for kids.
There is also a sports
pass available which includes the skiing above, ski lessons, and unlimited
public skating, we did not have prices at the time of going to press. There is a
good selection of night life in each of these resorts, and most other sporting
opportunities that one associates with winter holidays are also available.
Geneva is your best airport, follow the autoroute towards Chamonix and, turnoff
at cluses.
