From Morzine, the D902 winds up 12.4 km to Avoriaz at 1,800 m, perched above the Ardent cliffs with the Dents du Midi in full view. The Swiss side of the Portes du Soleil begins via Mossette and Chavanette, linking fast to Champéry and Morgins. Weather often flips after the Mossette crest, so plan crossings early. In resort, the timber-clad lanes guide you to Arare and Prodains lifts, ideal for a first chair run.
Your driver collects you at your Avoriaz hotel and keeps the Mercedes on standby, tracking your moves to Champéry, Les Crosets, or Châtel and adjusting pick-ups to match your final run. Lunch at Alpage de Chaux or Vieux-Chalets in Champéry while he repositions across the valley. A brief Morgins stop invites a taste of Valais tomme, then it’s onward to Châtel via Linga. With a private chauffeur in the Portes du Soleil, you save crucial transfer minutes when wind or liaison closures reshuffle the plan.

Check Chavanette and Cuboré status at 08:00; if the northerly wind picks up, cross to Switzerland before 10:30, or plan a Mossette return to avoid a late-day closure.
