Skiing and Food themed trip in the French/Swiss Alps

Join “Saveur the Journey” for a Ski/Snowboard and food themed trip to the French and Swiss Alps March 7-15, 2025. We will ski/board the "Portes du Soleil (Doors of the Sun)," 12 interconnected resorts in the French and Swiss Alps encompassing over 650 km of slopes and 200 lifts, making it one of the largest skiable areas in the world. The Portes du Soleil benefit from a microclimate between Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc that generates substantial amounts of snow, often receiving the highest totals for the French Alps. In addition to great skiing and riding we will enjoy the culinary delights such as fondue, raclette, tartiflette, local sausages, mountain trout, winter salads, pastries, charcuterie, crusty baguettes, and great wines. After a day of shredding on the mountain visit the charming ski town of Morzine for an "après ski" or relax in a luxury post-and-beam chalet overlooking the valley with a glass of wine, hors-d’œuvres, and new friends!
