Chalet Roche de Pierre...
After a day skiing, hiking or biking in the mountains, relax in the indoor sauna or in the hot tub on the terrace of this traditional Alpine chalet. You'll have a fabulous view of the peaks from here, as well as from the balcony and terraces that wrap around this beautiful property.
Perfectly situated between the small ski resort of Saint-Jean-d'Aulps (1.5km) and the Roc d'Enfer lifts (700m), Chalet Roche de Pierre is also just 9km from the shops, bars and restaurants of Morzine.
The small ski domain of Roc d'Enfer has a ski school, an ice rink and 50km of slopes catering for skiers of all levels. It's a great choice if you're looking for quiet, uncrowded slopes, but if you'd like to explore further afield, it is linked by bus to other resorts in the Portes du Soleil. Morzine is also just a 15-minute drive away.
In the summer, you will be able to enjoy many wonderful hikes and cycling trails, as well as activities such as canoeing, climbing and via ferrata. The beautiful lake at Montriond (10km) is a great place to walk, cycle or swim.
There are a few shops and restaurants in Saint-Jean-d'Aulps, including a Carrefour supermarket (4km), with plenty more in Montriond (7km) and Morzine.
About the property...
Chalet Roche de Pierre sleeps up to eight guests in four bedrooms with three bath/shower rooms, with accommodation set over three floors.
The main entrance on the lower ground floor opens into a spacious hall. The garage on your right has been converted into a useful ski room, with storage and room for bikes. On your left, there's a large double bedroom with a desk and an en-suite shower room. This floor is also home to the sauna, another shower room, a WC and a utility room with a washing machine, dryer and a heated boot rack.
Stairs lead up to the ground floor, and into the open-plan living area. There's a cosy seating area with a large sofa and chairs around the television and the wood-burning stove, and another sofa tucked into a reading corner, with doors onto the terrace. The kitchen has everything you need to cook delicious meals, as well as a dishwasher to make light work of the clearing up. Enjoy your meal at the dining table, or in good weather, step out onto the furnished terrace and eat al fresco. There's an outdoor dining table as well as a comfortable seating area and a hot tub where you can make the most of the views.
There are three more bedrooms on the first floor – two double rooms with doors to a shared balcony, and a room with two single beds. These bedrooms share a bathroom with a WC, and a separate WC.
There is plenty of space to park cars outside the chalet.
About the area...
When you stay at Chalet Roche de Pierre, you'll find great skiing, hiking and biking in every direction. Situated in a secluded location outside the village of Saint-Jean-d'Aulps, it's just 1km from the Roc d'Enfer ski lift and a short distance from the larger Portes du Soleil resorts of Morzine (9km) and Montriond (7km), both of which can be reached by bus.
The Roc d'Enfer ski area has 50km of slopes, a ski school and an ice rink. Outside the ski season, you can enjoy activities such as go-karting and hire electric bikes or all-terrain vehicles, as well as wonderful biking and hiking trails. The beautiful ruins of the Aulps abbey, with its restored farm and gardens, are just a 15-minute walk away. Head to Rocher de la Chaux (4km) for climbing and via ferrata.
Morzine also offers indoor and outdoor ice skating rinks, which are often host to ice hockey matches, and the local cinema often shows films in English. The more adventurous might like to try snowmobiling or ice-climbing on some of the area's frozen waterfalls, or discover the area in a more sedate manner on a sleigh ride.
Morzine and neighbouring Les Gets have earned the "Famille Plus" status for their excellent childcare and entertainment, so this area is the perfect choice for young families. There are superb water parks in both resorts and in neighbouring Avoriaz, as well as two summer sledge runs, while the Indiana adventure park has a range of assault courses to suit all ages.

The OVO Network Review
Chalet Roche de Pierre is a three-storey, detached chalet for eight, just outside the village of Saint-Jean-d'Aulps, and 700m from the nearest ski lift.
With wonderful views, a hot tub, sauna and spacious terraces, it's a great place to enjoy this wonderful area. The popular resort of Morzine is just 9km away, with links to the other Portes du Soleil resorts.
In the summer, the lake at Montriond is a great day out, with walking trails, watersports and restaurants.
Chalet Roche de Pierre has four bedrooms – two double rooms with a shared balcony, a twin room and a large double room with an en-suite shower room. There's a shared bathroom on the top floor and another shower room with the sauna on the lower ground floor.
The open-plan living area makes the most of the great mountain views, with three sets of doors opening onto the furnished, wraparound terrace. Back inside, the cosy seating area is a great place to watch TV in front of the woodburning stove, or you could curl up with a book in the reading corner.
The compact kitchen has all the equipment you need to cook up a feast, and there's a dishwasher too.
This traditionally-styled chalet is set well back from the road, but still gives you great access to all the local facilities. It's a great choice for a group who are looking for a quiet base, spectacular views and great mountain sports on their doorstep.

From the owner
Benjamin James & Jane
Hello, we’re Jane and Ben, along with our two children, Holly and Toby. Our love affair with the French Alps began over 20 years ago, when the thrilling downhill trails of Les Gets first drew us in.
Since then, we’ve traveled far and wide, but something about the Alps kept calling us back. There’s just something magical here, and after years of dreaming, we finally found the perfect place to call our own.
Our dream came true when we stumbled upon this chalet, perched high above the village of Saint-Jean-d’Aulps, offering what we believe are the most breathtaking views in the entire valley. It wasn’t just the scenery that captivated us – the tranquility, the authentic charm of the village, and the welcoming warmth of the local community made it feel like home.
In August 2024, we took the leap and secured our very own slice of Alpine paradise. Since then, we’ve poured our hearts into making this chalet a cozy, inviting retreat, thoughtfully modernizing it while preserving its charm.
It’s the perfect escape for those seeking serenity, just like we do whenever we’re here.
The village of Saint-Jean-d’Aulps is a hidden treasure – a place where time seems to slow down. While it’s close to lifts and amenities, it remains wonderfully peaceful, exuding an authenticity that’s hard to find elsewhere.
Winter here is simply magical.
Imagine waking up to the crisp Alpine air and spending your days exploring the Portes du Soleil, one of the world’s largest ski areas, with 12 resorts spread across France and Switzerland and over 600 kilometers of ski runs.
Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, the endless slopes are sure to thrill.
Just five minutes from the chalet, you can take on the Roc d’Enfer circuit – a serene, breathtaking route with 20 kilometers of pristine slopes and unforgettable views of Mont Blanc. On a powder day, there’s truly no better place to be and you can retreat to the warmth of the sauna and hot tub afterwards to ease those ski legs.
When the snow melts, summer reveals a different kind of beauty. The Portes du Soleil transform into a playground for adventurers, with 600 kilometers of mountain biking trails and scenic hiking routes that wind through lush valleys and across dramatic ridges.
Whether you’re biking, hiking, paragliding, or simply relaxing by Lac de Montriond, summer here is full of life.
We feel so lucky to have such an incredible year-round destination right on our doorstep.
We’ve named our chalet “Chalet Roche de Pierre,” inspired by the rugged beauty of Peters Stone, a rocky outcrop near our home in the Peak District. The connection between the views and tranquility of both our homes is undeniable, and we wanted to bring a little bit of that English charm to the French Alps.
Inside the chalet, you’ll find photographs that reflect this, including a stunning black-and-white image of Peters Stone, taken by a local artist, which hangs proudly in the living room.
For us, the chalet is more than just a home – it’s our sanctuary. Whether you’re here in the winter, carving through fresh snow and soaking in the mountain views, or in the summer, enjoying long, sun-drenched evenings on the balcony, this is a place to unwind, reconnect, and make memories that will last a lifetime. Come, make it part of your story.
We warmly invite you into our home to experience this magical place for yourselves, with your family and friends.
