Getting Here....
By Road
The Portes du Soleil is one of the closest and easily reached alpine resorts from the UK. Driving to the resort is very simple. There is motorway from Calais to within 30km of Morzine. An approx 600-mile journey can be completed in approximately eight to nine hours. If you wish to stop over to break the journey, there are many places along the way that will suit almost any budget.
We have found that the Novotel at Reims is a good hotel and approximately half way to the chalet.
Road tolls will add up to around £40 each way.
