"There are a lot of difficult and iconic ski runs in the world, from Jackson Hole's Corbet's Couloir to the impossibly steep Streif at Kitzbühel. But when combining steep slopes with massive moguls, nothing in Europe can compare to The Swiss Wall at Les Portes du Soleil. Starting from Avoriaz in France and ending in Les Crosets in Switzerland, the Swiss Wall is often considered one of, if not the, most difficult on-piste slopes in Europe."
"The Swiss Wall is very, very steep, dropping about 1,092 feet through its run, and its moguls are nothing to joke about. Many of them reach to waist height or even higher, making for some serious obstacles on the way down. Every turn must be done with precision and confidence as if you take a particularly nasty fall, you might have a long and bumpy way before you stop."
The Swiss Wall at Les Portes du Soleil combines extreme steepness and large moguls, making it among Europe's most formidable on-piste runs. The route starts in Avoriaz, France, and finishes in Les Crosets, Switzerland, and descends roughly 1,092 feet. Moguls frequently reach waist height or higher, requiring precise, confident turns to avoid long, bumpy falls. Access requires a Portes du Soleil ski pass valid across 12 interconnected resorts, with single-day adult window tickets typically costing about 72 euros. DSV-certified instructor Marius Quast has skied the run, illustrating the technical and physical demands.
