St Jean d’Aulps
 |
St Jean d’Aulps is the one town in the Portes Du Soleil which is a full time, all year town. Whereas Morzine and Les Gets are bustling in the skiing season and the summer for mountain biking, out of season, they become ghost towns. Because of this, St Jean d’Aulps has a big supermarket which the locals use. This means that it does not have inflated prices for tourists and will pretty much always be stocked with food, something which cannot be said of the supermarkets in Morzine and Les Gets, especially on the changeover day.
St Jean d’Aulps is one of the oldest settlements in the region with a 12th century abbey in the main village close to Chalet Dragon. The ski station at La Grande Terche, a district of St Jean d’Aulps is one of the smaller in the Portes du Soleil, which ensures it is quieter than the others whilst still offering lots of pistes and scope for off-piste in the bowl at the back.
There are several bars and restaurants in the St Jean d’Aulps and La Grande Terche to cater to most needs.
