About the Area

The slopes at the top of the gondola are perfect to learn the basics, then enjoy the freedom of the quiet runs and the incredible views of Mont Blanc and Dents du Midi at the top. For those not skiing but wanting to join in the fun, watch from the sunny terrace of the mountain restaurants, an easy meeting point, or head back to the chalet for lunch.

The Circuit du Roc d’Enfer is a scenic 20km route of great skiing for all, including two 5km runs. It is truly magical, often skiing on empty slopes, with opportunities for off- piste skiing and black runs, or enjoy the route through the forest and stop at the restaurants en route. 

Chalet le Dahu is within the ski area Roc d’Enfer, part of the vast Portes du Soleil – 650km of fantastic skiing in France and Switzerland! Roc d’Enfer has 50km of pisted runs and excellent off-piste skiing for the more adventurous.

Morzine, Avoriaz and Lets Gets are nearby and easily accessible, by car or ski bus, giving you freedom to explore the twelve linked Alpine resorts of France and Switzerland, which make up the vast Portes du Soleil ski area

In the summer the vast array of activities available will keep everyone entertained. The numerous walking paths are well signposted and start from outside the chalet.

The restaurant at the Terchette is open every day – accessible in a 4-wheel drive via Graydon, you can hike up from the Terche or the lift at La Grande Terche is open on Thursdays.

Morzine and Les Gets will be buzzing with mountain bikers, downhill cyclists and electric bikers all enjoying the thrill of the mountains.
