Morzine – Avoriaz, two of the closest resorts to Geneva and indeed the Channel if you're driving south, and part of one of the world's largest ski areas, the Portes du Soleil (650km of piste straddling the French-Swiss border) has announced a number of price-reduction strategies for the coming winter.
Most involve buying you pass in advance on line in order to pay less, with the best savings in low season periods of course, but deals include reduced price passes throughout the season, and even free passes, free snowboarding lessons, or a free trip for the kids, on certain dates.
Firstly, act fast if you plan to ski in the region during the first six weeks of next year as there's 20 % off Morzine-Les Gets ski passes valid from 05/01/2013 to 16/02/2013 (passes of 6-14 days) when purchased before the end of tomorrow 31st POctober on www.skipass-morzine.com
There's a longer period to get a smaller discount (10%) off a full Portes du Soleil ski passes (minimum of 4 days) for all purchases made between 09/12/2012 on www.skipass-morzine.com – that's around a 20 Euro saving all season on a week's pass.
In addition there's 10% off Morzine-Les Gets ski passes when groups of 4+ buy at the same time for the same dates/duration, again at www.skipass-morzine.com and a similar saving on the full Portes du Soleil ski passes Valid for two adults and two children or young people up to 19.
The Portes du Soleil Ski Area is open from Saturday the 22nd of December 2012 to Sunday the 21st of April 2013.
