The Portes du Soleil, made up of 12 resorts spanning France and Switzerland is the largest international ski area in the world. It has an enormous variety of slopes both around the treeline and above. There are gentle, wide open runs for beginners, endless intermediate terrain and for advanced skiers, there are demanding bump runs, a huge choice of easily accessible off piste and many hidden gems.

Guiding

For many of our regular guests, the guiding is one of the most enjoyable parts of their holiday. Justin, who has over 20 years knowledge of the area, both on and off piste, can tailor the day to your ability and ensure there is no wasted time on the snow.You can take a ski safari, trying a different Portes du Soleil resort every day,or attempt a circuit, passing through 7 resorts in one day. Either way you are sure to find a favourite run or mountain restaurant. The guiding is aimed at intermediate level and above.

We provide a door to piste service, in our private minibus, ensuring the carrying of your skis or snowboards is a distant memory!
