Description

We invite you to join us on a backcountry skiing tour in the Portes du Soleil, a major winter destination in the Alps. We are based in Morzine, so we know this area like the back of our hands!  We will take you on a discovery trip to hidden spots, searching for the best snow and the most amazing descents.

The Portes du Soleil (“the Doors of the Sun”) is one of the largest ski areas in the world, situated between Mont Blanc in France and Lake Geneva in Switzerland. It encompasses thirteen resorts (Châtel, Avoriaz, Morzine, Morgin, Les Crossets and Champery in France) and has about 200 lifts in total, spread over 14 valleys.

There is a microclimate in the area which generates a consistent snowfall. The ski season here starts in December at extends until May, depending on the snow condition.

We are not only experts on the Portes du Soleil terrain, but on the nearby resorts as well, such as Chamonix, Courmayeur, Verbier, or the Grand Massif. So, if you are looking to explore new places, we will show you around these great skiing destinations.

If you want to join us for one or several days in the Portes du Soleil area, just send us a request. Book your trip and get ready for an amazing skiing tour!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
