Conveniently located between Geneva and Mont Blanc the Portes du Soleil skiing area offers an extensive 650 km of pistes, 279 marked pistes, 9 snow parks, 12 resorts and two countries to choose from. The main attraction here is the extensive circular tour, where you can continuously ski between France and Switzerland offering a travelling experience.
