Chalet Roche de Pierre

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.
