Cross-country Avoriaz
Les Portes du Soleil is not just amazing for fans of alpine sports, but also for cross-country skiers too! 204 kilometres of cross-country piste and more skating cross-country trails are waiting to be discovered. Due to its high altitude, whereby most of the pistes lie above 1,000 m, and the gentle nature of the pre-alps, the conditions for cross-country skiing are near on perfection! The majority of the trails run on the French side. Sometimes there is a cross-country trail fee or at least for the mountain or valley ascent. Besides 97 km of trails in Morzine, Avoriaz offers the largest cross-country selection with a total of 45 km of piste. Many of the routes run past the trees or through the thick spruce forest, which is definitely an experience. The cross-country trail at high altitude “Le Proclou” (1,600 – 1,800 m) offers an impressive panoramic view, as well as high levels of snow. Be warned though, it is 7 km long and will test your stamina. More experienced cross-country skiers should test out the 12 km long “Croix des Combes” without a doubt. This is one of the longest and most challenging trails in the ski region.
