Morzine is set in the heart of the Portes du Soleil the largest linked ski area in the world with over 650 km of pistes spread over 14 resorts, 8 in France and 6 in Switzerland. For beginners both Morzine and Avoriaz have great nursery slopes to learn on, backed up with a great selection of ski schools. Once you’ve mastered these slopes you can work your way around the Portes du Soleil circuit with all the connecting blue and red runs over 80kms over 14 resorts in France and Switzerland in one day!

Stretching between France and Switzerland, over 200 ski lifts will take you up to the 8 snowparks, 243km of cross country tracks and 650km of marked pistes that interconnect the 14 resorts, all accessible with a single ski pass. Even though parts of the ski area sit at a moderate altitude, it's northern situation (the most Northern in France) means that it often gets better snow than most other French resorts which are much higher. This factor along with the abundance of North facing slopes, means the snow lasts late in the season – (the lifts in Avoriaz closed on May 1st last season!) Also don’t forget about the 520 snow cannons!

With the ski area being so large, there is a huge amount of varied skiing available in the Portes Du Soleil. 28 black runs, 107 red runs , 112 blue runs and 41 green runs.

Why not have a gentle ski over to Mont Chery for amazing view of the always impressive Mont Blanc or attempt the famous “Swiss wall”, icy, steep and waist deep moguls! There is also plenty of accessible off piste skiing, such as the massive bowls down from Avoriaz and the tree runs down to Les Linderets
