Attractions The chalet is quietly located in the village of Le Biot. The village benefits from a couple of restaurants, a bar, tabac and bakery .St Jean d’ Aulps less than 5 minutes away has a wider range of facilities including large supermarket ,petrol station, a couple of excellent restaurants, pizzeria bar, pharmacy and bank. Morzine and Les Get s a further 5 minutes away with a full range of restaurants, bars and clubs. It is worth highlighting that the towns in this area have grown as traditional market towns with a cosy ‘Christmas card’ atmosphere quite unlike some of the purpose built, aesthetically challenged French resorts.
Winter season
The Portes du Soleil ski area which links the French resorts of Morzine, Lets Gets, Avoriaz and Chatel with the Swiss resorts of Morgin, and Champery. There are over 650kms of marked piste, 208 lifts and over 100 mountain restaurants catering for all levels of skier. In addition to the extensive skiing there are delightful; wooded trails and spectacular mountain views across to Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva.
The sheer size of the ski area enables it to accommodate busy periods with independent skiers able to avoid some of the choke points by simply driving to one of the out of town car parks with express lifts to the heart of the ski area.
Boarders will enjoy the numerous snow parks, with jumps and pipes to really get the adrenalin pumping.
Snow record – there has been a great deal of concern over global warming and the effect on snow fall. Portes du Soleil is one of the most northerly of all French ski areas. Avoriaz, with a top lift at 7,500ft, guarantees snow all season. Morzine and Les Gets (top lift 6,000ft) are lower but never the less have excellent snow records. Personally the ambience and real Gallic charm of these towns more than compensate when compared to the soul less, bleak high altitude resorts. It is interesting that once at these purpose built high altitude resorts eg Val Thorens the lack of competition for restaurants, ski schools and accommodation promotes a less relaxing take it or leave it attitude which really does effect how you feel about your winter ski experience.
In addition to skiing and boarding there is also a huge cross country ski area, snow shoeing, skidoo rides, sleigh rides, snow parapenting and much more.
Non winter season
When the snow has melted, the area has still a huge amount to offer. The Portes du Soleil has invested heavily to turn itself into a year round destination.
The sheer beauty and clean air provides a perfect backdrop to relax and unwind. However the mountains can be a fabulous playground for all – active or gentle:
Pamper yourself at a spa
Use the ski lifts to take a gentle walk along the mountain ridges
Trek along parts of the 300km of well marked mountain trails
Swim in any of the lakes or the Olympic outdoor pool in Morzine
Practice you backhand at the free local tennis courts
Fabulous fishing in the lakes and rivers
Donkey and horse riding in the forests and mountains
Golf at one of the 12 18 hole golf courses in the area
World class mountain biking terrain with ski lifts to the mountain tops for those who want to expend less energy. Many vents are hosted here including the World Cup Downhill in Les Gets and the Avalanche Cup in Morzine
