Winter
A winter holiday based in St Jean d’Aulps gives you the chance to ski and snowboard the largest inter-linked ski area in the world covering 14 resorts, 650kms of piste, 208 lifts, superb snow parks and over 100 mountain restaurants.

The benefit of our location is that, being central to the Portes du Soleil, we can pick and choose the best place to ski on any given day based on the snow or weather conditions, made even more accessible with our free shuttle service.

So in short, La Tassionnère has easy access to a vast skiing area, we are only 5 minutes from the resort of La Grande Terche. A 10 minute drive to Morzine, from where you could access the Pleiney cable car taking you across to Les Gets. The Ardent ski lift is also a 10 minute drive which gives you the easiest access to the purpose built resort of Avoriaz and the quiet open pistes of Champery, Les Crosets and Morgins in Switzerland with its breathtaking views of the Dents du Midi.
