Just to say a quick hello to introduce ourselves, Lee & Mimi. We set up Alpxscape which offers two affordable accommodations - Studio Marg and Chalet La Grande Vue. We first came to Portes du Soleil in 2013 and fell in love with the area. Studio Marg, named in memory of Lee’s mum, Margaret, was our first project. Since then, we have been coming to this area and decided to move here permanently when we found Chalet La Grande Vue in July 2015. Blown away by the breathtaking scenery in Saint Jean d’Aulps and the peaceful village life, we took a leap and left our lives in London to begin our journey and adventure in the French Alps. We have been devoting our time in transforming the chalet into what is going to be our home forever, and not just a project. We live at the top of Chalet La Grande Vue, which means we are available at all times to make sure your stay with us at Chalet La Grand Vue is comfortable and all your needs are catered for. Please feel free to contact us to discuss your specific needs. We look forward to sharing our new home with you soon! Lee and Mimi, owners of Alpxscape

Saint Jean d’Aulps is a charming alpine village which boosts an amazing range of winter and summer activities. The cable car takes walkers and mountain-bikers to 1,500m, where they can enjoy unspoilt routes amid the foothills of the Roc d’Enfer, with panoramic view of Mont Blanc and the Dents du Midi.The impressive “Elephant Head” rock in Saint Jean d’Aulps is popular with climbers. In the village centre, there are bars, restaurants, bakers and a tourist office. There is also a Carrefour Express with a larger Carrefour (with petrol station) 5 minutes by car towards Morzine. The local ski area, La Grande Terche, also known as “Espace Roc d’Enfer”, is a hidden gem popular with locals on powder days or to avoid the crowds in peak season. It covers 50km of pistes in a beautiful and unspoilt setting, including a large amount of off-piste terrain. As it is relatively unknown to many visitors, the pistes tend to remain quiet even during the busiest weeks of the season. You will also find a number of great restaurants. The resort is covered by the Portes du Soleil ski pass and there is a regular shuttle service that takes you to the other bigger ski resorts.
