majestic Roc d'Enfer. French Alps at their best.

covers 400 hectares, 206 ski lifts, and 288 slopes (41 green, 109 blue, 110 red
and 28 black, 4 snowcross). It also has hundreds of kilometres of freeride
areas.
The Saint Jean d'Aulps ski resort is not linked by the slopes to
the Portes du Soleil area, so short car or ski bus ride (10 minutes) is
required. This means that the local St Jean D'Aulps ski area is relatively
quiet, without queues and ideal for families, paticularly those with young
children. [Ski bus will be running for winter 2006/20007 (Balad'Aulps Bus, 1€
per ride) and bring you to Montriond, Morzine and les Gets].

D'Aulps ski area, a 2 minute drive from the Chalet, is called "La Grand Terche"
and is served by a regular free ski bus (Stops 200m from the Chalet). La Grand
Terche offers excellent intermediate level skiing and magnificent scenery. The
area is also linked to the resort of Bellevaux and it's "Domaine Roc d'Enfer",
with an impressive 11 km run descending back to "La Grande Terche". There is an
'ESF' ski school which provides lessons for all levels and accepts children from
the age of 4. Younger children from 2 months can use the nearby crèche which has
a very good reputation.
St Jean D'Aulps is set in protected environment
with fantastic views of the Dents du Midi in Switzerland, Lake Geneva, Mont
Blanc & majestic Roc d'Enfer.

accessible from Morzine centre by the Super Morzine gondola lift (which is
equipped with new cabins), it is comprised of 70 km of ski runs between 1000 and
2466 meters in altitude. This is paradise for those liking the more modern forms
of snow sports, as there are 2 snowparks and the new "Biotop" (the first 100%
ecological winter forest park), a half pipe, a "canyon" slope and a new boarder
slope. There are also and 4 “snowcross” where you can practice off-piste
