First timers are introduced to sliding sports up on Planachaux where there are several wide and gentle blue runs. Within a week confident riders should be able to travel to the slopes above Morgins and back.

Champery is an ideal base for intermediates looking to explore the vast tracts of the Portes du Soleil. Test how fast you are and see if you can make it to and back from Les Gets beyond Morzine or Torgon in the opposite direction beyond Chatel in a day. On any journey throughout the Portes du Soleil intermediates will be entertained on a selection of testing reds and cruisy blues. Rip it up!

For advanced riders some of the best sport is found just over the hill in Avoriaz. But, don’t limit yourself to the immediate locale as the Portes du Soleil offers plenty of adventure for those willing to seek it out. The off-piste opportunities are almost limitless and there is plenty to challenge the piste-basher too. Bump freaks want to try out the Wall (of course only after taking out BUPA Knee Care).

The Portes du Soleil region is littered with parks and natural features. Avoriaz particularly is a long time established freestyle zone and things just keep getting better.
