Catered chalet ski and snowboard catered in the Portes du Soleil, France

La Grande Terche is a small ski resort in the village of St Jean d'Aulps. Whilst it is part of the Portes du Soleil lift pass it is not linked in skiing terms to the other resorts.

For this reason it is one of the best kept secrets of the area. Novices will appreciate quietness of the pistes and will find the skiing adequate for a full week.  Experienced skiers will enjoy a day trip, especially the "Roc d'Enfer" run, graded red, it is the longest run in the Portes du Soleil.

Powder hounds often come here as fresh snow can still be found long after the main areas are skied out.

Choose the Grande Terche for:

• Small and friendly
• Cheap lift passes
• Good ESF ski school
• Great views
