Summer Vacation Les Portes du Soleil - Chablais
Ski Resort Les Portes du Soleil
The biggest ski resort in the world - Les Portes du Soleil.
Les Portes du Soleil is the largest internationally connected Ski Resort in the world. The Ski Resort is located partly in Switzerland and partly in France. So you need your passport to cover the entire Ski Resort to ski. 12 villages are connected to the Ski Resort, and as many as 650 kilometer of slopes.
Moreover, also the French ski resort Trois Vallées is in the running for the title of "largest ski resort in the world", and there are between the two ski areas quite a few differences. Thus, the highest point in Les Portes du Soleil is only 2466 meters high, all pistes are linked besides on three points. These three points, you can also easily get around by skibus.
The biggest advantage is the wide scope of the ski resort. So you can really ski far, for example from the French Les Gets to the Swiss Champoussin or Torgon. While you can ski to Torgon from Champéry in Switzerland, or from the French Châtel.
In addition, the quality of the lifts are quite different, even though in recent years a lot of time and money was invested, and the necessary adjustments are planned for the coming years.
The most impressive is the "wall", the steep black run between Avoriaz and Les Crosets. Unfortunately you'll have some trouble to find really challenging slopes as buckle pistes and opportunities for off-piste to enjoy the fresh powder snow. For the average skier, and especially if you can ski well, and for snowboarding, Les Portes du Soleil is a relief. Finally you can do, what you searched for years during the winter!
And the best thing about this great Ski Resort is, you need only 1 ski pass.
Outside the ski slopes, there are many things to do, such as extensive opportunities for snowboarders and freeride skiers with 7 snow parks, 3 half pipes, 4 boarder cross and 4 snowboard cross. And of course, extensive opportunities for Après Ski and entertainment venues in 1 of the known or less known villages in the region.
Les Portes du Soleil offers 650 km of slopes and countless other possibilities for winter sports.
