6 Things You Absolutely Must Try in the French and Swiss Alps
SUBSCRIBE: The Portes du Soleil mega-resort is a winter wonderland in the French and Swiss Alps and one of the largest ski areas on the planet.
Portes du Soleil is comprised of 12 resorts spread over approximately 400 square miles in France and Switzerland. Best of all, you can ski or snowboard through all of the resorts using a single lift ticket (around $53 per person).
There’s so much on offer, so you need to plan your vacation wisely. Here are my picks for the top 6 things to see and do in the French and Swiss Alps.
6. Paragliding
The best 75 euro you’ll ever spend is paragliding in Les Gets. First-timers ride tandem and require very little coaching. My instructor with Air Libre did all the work while I sat back, took photos and enjoyed the view. From way up there, we could see the Swiss border and Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps.
Watch me jump off a 6,000-foot slope here:
5. Speed Riding
Up the ante and try something a bit more daring with a parachute … zooming straight down a slope on skis. At Paragliding School Portes du Soleil in Morzine, you can try this Red Bull-approved sport for yourself and have bragging rights for a lifetime.
Remember kiddos, speed riding is not for everyone. You’ll need to be a strong skier to even consider it.
During a group lesson setting, after adequate instruction, there’s time for newbies to put their skills to the test at least twice. Depending on your ski to falling ratio, two runs might be all the excitement you need.
4. Igloo Bar
Where else but in the French and Swiss Alps can you ski to a reggae dance party in an Igloo? Head straight to Avoriaz, located on the French side of Portes du Soleil, for a full bar, chill out areas, reggae music and a cove of ice sculptures. Ya mon.
3. Fondue And Raclette
Nothing says the Alps like cheese…gooey, hot, pungent cheese. Some of my favorite places for a gluttonous night out are Le Vieux Four in Chatel, La Ferme de la Fruitiere in Morzine and La Fruitiere des Perrieres in Les Gets, where a Japanese cheesemaker (gasp) creates award-winning dishes.
2. Night Sledging
The best time to go sledging (also known as sledding) is during twilight, when the slopes are empty.
When you manage to fall (and you will), you’ll enjoy sledging even more. With your center of gravity so close to the ground, it’s unlikely that you’ll feel any discomfort when crashing. In fact, falling is kinda the best part.
1. Rock the Pistes
Each spring, crowds gather throughout Portes du Soliel for a free outdoor concert series. Expect international rock stars, costumes and people dancing in full-on snow gear. Past performers include Klaxons, Babyshambles, Selah Sue and Lee “Scratch” Perry.
Wanna see what it’s like? Hang out with me at Rock the Pistes here:
Decadent multi-course dinners, adventure sports, live music and snow-covered mountains are all part of l'art de vivre (the art of living) in the French and Swiss Alps.

Places Featured:
►Les Gets: we went for acrobatic paragliding and yoga on the mountain.
Our hotel was beautifully situated along the hill:
► Along the road (Route des Grandes Alpes - highly recommended!) we stopped over at the Abbey:
► In Chatel we stayed over at a hostel:
The hike early morning over the mountains was quite challenging, but very, very rewarding! One of the highlights of the trip!! Don't forget to get yourself some pie in the mountain hut afterwards, you deserve it ;)
► I asked Savoie Mont Blanc if they could make this trip possible for us, and they did.
All opinions are my own, as always.
