Local Attractions

Skiing and Snowboarding:

Morzine and Avoriaz:
This is the beating heart of Portes du Soleil ski area with the largest linked lift network in the world.
It provides access to 430 individual pistes served by 209 ski lifts.
The Portes du Soleil ski pass gives you access to many resorts not even the speediest person could ski every piste in the area in 1 week.
The speedy Ardent gondola is a 6 minute drive from the chalet; it takes you right into the heart of Avoriaz ski area Les Linderets.

AliKats top tips
For glorious wide pistes: Head to Les Haut Forts, the highest point in the Portes du Soleil at 2466m.
For safe off piste: Fornet Bowl in Avoriaz and �Happy Valley in Chatel (near Cornebois lift).
For moguls: Ski at your own peril at the infamous Swiss Wall.
For something different: The Stash. A natural park created by Burton with the famous picnic table to drop off.
For a thigh-burning workout: Try the World Cup run in Avoriaz. A full 1100m descent; steep & fast.
When the clouds roll in: Head for the trees as the Star Wars run, aka La Combe à Floret is great fun.
For lunch with a view: the panoramic restaurant at the top of the Mosettes chair straddling Switzerland and France is breath taking.
For an apres beer: Half way down the home run, La Ferme, is a great place to stop in the afternoon sun before the final 400m to the AliKats minibus to take you back to cake and the bubbling hot-tub.

Snow parks:

There are several parks you can access from Morzine.
• Stash: The most famous and only park of its type in France, it has a wide range of wooden rails, boxes, jumps and many more to play with – all built with ecological principles in mind.
• Snowpark de la Chappelle: Accessed by Express Proclou lift in Avoriaz. Known as the ‘Baby Park’ it has jumps ranging from easy greens to pretty advanced blues as well as rails, boxes, A frame and spines which are suitable for beginners to intermediates.
Snowpark Arare: Accessed by Express Lac Intrets lift and Bleue du Lac run. This park means business the red jumps are a big step up from the blues in the Chappelle Park and the rails have a big drop off if you get it wrong. It’s a great place to watch major talent in action.
Trashers snowpark: In the Falaise sector. This is for kids and beginners and has a series of small jumps, slides and obstacles to cut your teeth on not literally we hope.
Superpipe: Opposite the top of the Prodain lift. At 120m long and with 6m high walls this pipe is big – seriously big.
• Bordercross: In the Arare area. Anyone can have a try at this as you can always avoid the bigger jumps if your nerves fail you.
Snowpark Les Crosets: Under the TS Les Crosets 2. This is an advanced park similar to Snowpark-Arare with large jumps and many other features.
