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.
To ski the twelve linked Alpine resorts of France and Switzerland, of the vast Portes du Soleil ski area, it is an easy drive from the chalet to the free parking at the Ardent cable car. This takes you directly to Les Lindarets bowl with lifts to Avoriaz, Morzine, Chatel and Champery to mention just a few. For those not wanting to drive there is a free shuttle bus down to St Jean d’Aulps tourist office from outside the chalet where you connect with the ski buses into Morzine and Ardent.
The choices in PDS are limitless from gentle green runs to the infamous Swiss wall! In February 2024 Roc d’Enfer is hosting the junior Alpine ski world championship giant slalom a spectacle for everyone to enjoy.
