The picturesque village of St Jean d'Aulps, near Morzine, is the perfect location as a summer mountain retreat or activity-holiday base; quiet in itself, yet by the River Dranse and within the huge Portes du Soleil stretching from France into Switzerland.
You can stay ‘bed and breakfast’ with the option of requesting other meals whenever you choose. B&B summer prices start from only €65 per room per night.
The Portes du Soleil is renowned for its mountain biking, Its 480km of marked paths provide all levels of runs and hiking trails, connected by the ski lifts which can carry you and your bike to avoid the worst of the climbs. The lifts for hiking and biking are open from June till September. Road cyclists love staying at Chalet Shufu too with plenty of 'Cols' to go at in the surrounding area.
