Here, your group can access over 600km of piste across two countries, plus incredible views of Mont Blanc.
Features
As host of the Snowboarding World Cup, Morzine boasts several specially designed runs to keep your group challenged all week. While beginners perfect their snow ploughs on the tree lined blues, intermediates can carve across red runs in Les Gets and cruise along undulating runs back to the village, leaving advanced skiers to tackle the World Cup descent.
With an extended pass, your group can also explore the extensive domain of the Portes du Soleil, with a trip to Avoriaz recommended to really make the most of the region.
