The Portes du Soleil
Presentation
A cross-boarder area
The first cross-border area extends over the Chablaisian and Valaisan alpine territory.
Two countries, two currencies, two mentalities, the same melodious language and more importantly so, the same love for mountains. You can easily begin your day in France and finish it in Switzerland or vice versa.
With the Portes du Soleil pass, the first international ski pass created in 1976, all the slopes are accessible. The Portes du Soleil invented cross-border skiing !
