The Portes du Soleil area has something to offer every age and interest, and is the ideal destination for individuals, couples, families and groups.

Most people choose to drive out to the Alps. Morzine is approximately 570 miles from Calais and all but the last half an hour is on the finest French motorways. It is usually nine hours once you have filled up with petrol and had a few snack/loo stops for the kids. The tolls cost about 40€ each way.

A quicker option if you don’t mind the grief of contemporary air travel, would be to fly and hire a car. We can organise flights and car hire for you, or can provide information to help you if you wish to book this yourselves.
