Morzine Skiing Guide

Morzine Skiing

Morzine and the Portes du Soleil’s proximity to both Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc assures that the ski area has an outstanding snow record. Ski passes can be bought separately for the Morzine/Les Gets ski area, or for the whole Portes du Soleil ski area. The Morzine / Les Gets skiing is accessed through Le Pleney cable car and is an excellent area for beginner and intermediate skiing. The skiing in the remaining Portes du Soleil area is accessed through the Super Morzine cable car (Morzine town centre) or Les Prodains cable car (5 minute drive from Morzine town centre). The Portes du Soleil ski area has over 650km of pisted slopes and has a lot to offer for all skiing abilities. Our Morzine chalets are all located in the centre of town and offer excellent access to the whole Portes du Soleil ski area.

Morzine / Les Gets and the Portes du Soleil ski area is superb for Beginners – there is a vast range of wide village nursery slopes in both Morzine and Avoriaz. There are excellent progression runs on Le Pleney, at Nyon, and at the top of the Super-Morzine cable car. There is more than enough skiing in the Morzine / Les Gets area for beginners so it is not necessary to buy the full Portes du Soleil pass which includes Morzine / Lets Gets put also Avoriaz and the Swiss side of the PDS ski area.

 

Portes du Soleil Ski Guide – Morzine

There is a wide variety of ski runs for Intermediates leading back into Morzine resort. Le Pléney (on the north side of Morzine town) has a compact network of pistes that are ideal for groups with mixed abilities: there are blue and red options from every lift. The 119 blue runs and 109 red runs ensure that there are a huge amount of options for intermediate groups.

 

Portes du Soleil Ski Guide – Les Gets

For Experts there are plenty of exciting possibilities – the runs down from Pointe de Nyon and Chamossière are quite challenging, as are the black runs down the back of Mont Chéry and the excellent Hauts Forts blacks at Avoriaz. The scope of off-piste is enormous throughout the vast Portes du Soleil mountain range.
