Located at an altitude of 1950 meters, the Portes du Soleil pass gave birth to the international Portes du Soleil association. This brings together 12 French and Swiss stations. At the top you can enjoy superb views of the Dents du Midi.

Amazing view. Only way is from south (east) - too steep from the other side. Nice restaurant on the way down.

The pass which gave its name to the Portes du Soleil area offers a magnificent view of the Dents du Midi.
