Freeride In the Portes Du Soleil

28th September 2006 | By Patrick Thorne

Resorts in this article: Morzine

The resort has published recommended routes for free riders. Choice cuts include The Mines d'Or offers a big ski down from the Col du Fornet (Avoriaz) towards the Vallée de la Manche (Morzine). A second hit is in The Fontaines Blanches – starting from the Chaux des Rosées summit, skiing down to the bottom of the They (Morgins) valley. To enjoy the Pierre Plate begin with a five minutes hike carrying your skis or board then descend from the Col des Portes de l’Hiver, arriving at the Tovassière cantine in Morgins, no doubt winning applause from cheese-fondue fans, enjoying the show and sunshine on the terrace.
