Ski lift pass recommendations for beginner skiers and snowboarders

However, later in the season, taking lessons in Avoriaz can be a better experience for beginner skiers.

This is because Avoriaz is at a higher altitude and therefore the spring snow conditions can be better. If your ski lessons are in Avoriaz you should purchase a Portes Du Soleil lift pass.

For more information on ski lessons see our Definitive guide to ski & snowboard schools in Morzine.

Pure Morzine guests don't need to worry about heading to lift pass offices. We can sell you ski lift passes at our exclusive discounted rate and have them waiting in your chalet or apartment when you arrive.

All Portes Du Soleil ski passes are hands free. Woo!

This means that you can zip your ski pass in a pocket and simply brush against a sensor on the barrier to by let onto a ski lift. It works using NFC, the same technology behind Oyster cards and contactless payments.

Most ski lift barriers now have sensors on both sides so it doesn't matter which pocket you put your ski pass in. However, ski lift passes can be blocked from working by mobile phones or wallets with other payment cards in so it's best to put these in separate pockets.

Losing your ski lift pass is a nightmare! It can cost you money and skiing time and it will certainly be stressful. Here's a few top tips to help you to avoid the problem:

1. Write down the unique ID number of your ski pass
   Each Portes Du Soleil pass has a unique ID number. If you write that number down (or simply photograph your pass on your phone) at the start of your holiday it will mean that your pass can be easily replaced if you do lose it.
   
   If the worst happens, simply head to a lift pass office, tell them you've lost your pass and give them the ID number. They should be able to cancel your lost pass and issue you with a new one.
   
2. Have a designated lift pass pocket in your outwear
   Most ski jackets and ski pants have quite a few pockets. We suggest picking one pocket to be your designated lift pass pocket. That means you keep nothing else in it and, as Portes Du Soleil lift passes are hands-free, you won't need to unzip it at any point. This massively reduces the risk of your lift pass falling out and becoming lost.
   
3. Move your pass if you change your clothes
   If you're a ski fashionista and have multiple outfits for the mountain then be sure to move your pass from one item of clothing to the next. Nothing compares to the frustration of arriving at the first lift of the day and not being able to get on because you changed which jacket you're wearing.
