The First Cross-Border Ski Area
In addition to being the first French-Swiss cross-border ski area, the Portes du Soleil is one of the largest ski areas in the Alps. Between France and Switzerland, the region offers majestic panoramas and a complete escape!
Two countries, two currencies, two ways of life, one shared language with melodious but distinct accents, and a mutual love for the mountains.
The 12 stations—both traditional and avant-garde—forming this region have retained the charm of Chablais mountain life. This unique setup allows vacationers to travel “ski-in, ski-out” between countries. It’s a journey within a journey, crossing borders and inviting you to enjoy scenic, relaxing, sporty, or culinary adventures, perfect for all ages.
There’s something for everyone in the Portes du Soleil! #BeyondBorders
