The Portes du Soleil is a land of skiing which gives its champions everything they need to make it at the highest level. This desire to help young talent is in the ski area's DNA, since one of the people behind its creation was none other than Jean Vuarnet, Winter Olympics gold medallist at Squaw Vallée in 1960.
Since then, generations of champions have been born, and the Portes du Soleil has become a ski area that's renowned for hosting ski competitions and for its top-flight facilities.
Every year, the ski area also hosts a fun Champions' race to celebrate the exceptional sporting achievements of the following athletes:
