About Drouzin Le Mont

Drouzin Le Mont is a small family resort in the Haute Savoie region of the French Alps. It is a small satellite ski village between the Chatel and Morzine valleys, situated on the Col du Corbier on the edge of the Portes du Soleil piste map.

Although not quite a 'ski in, ski out' resort, the ski lifts are only moments away. It is located about 5 minutes above the village of Le Biot and 10 minutes from the village of Abondance. Chatel and Morzine are a short drive away (approx. 25 mins.).

The ski station has 15 ski runs ranging from green to black, and is particuarly suitable for families, beginners and intermediates, as the as the slopes are rarely crowded, and a fraction of the price of the nearby Portes du Soleil ski system

Further details on the Drouzin Le Mont ski station, liftpass prices etc. can be found here.

Alternative ski areas are close by on the Portes du Soleil system which is one of the largest linked ski areas in the world with over 650km of prepared pistes. The nearest resorts are Morzine, Les Gets, and the high level resort of Avoriaz, which are only 15 to 25 minutes drive away.

Snowfalling in Portes du Soleil

The weekend saw the second lot of snowfall of the autumn in the Portes du Soleil with a few centimeters falling  overnight on Saturday in Avoriaz. It could be a good sign that we're in for some great snow as we saw last year.

More snow is forecast for mid-week, with the freeze levels dropping further.
