Local restaurants
The closest is La Petit Auberge, on the road just below Clos Donne, it is a good basic local restaurant and bar. It is not quick food!

La Grande Terche / Espace Roc d’Enfer (10min), this is the ski area at St Jean d’Aulps. It is covered by the Portes du Soleil pass but not linked. Good for its free parking and cheaper skiing (if you buy a local area pass), plus the nursery slope is one of the best in the area, safe and with a restaurant at the bottom, so once a young skier is progressing they can be left to ski on their own. There is also a good circuit that takes about 1h30 to ski. There is a bus from Tourist Information in St Jean d’Aulps.

Morzine, Pleney (9 minutes), the nearest skiing, you would start from here if you have lessons booked in Morzine. There is a very convienent carpark underneath the slope, it’s expensive and hard to find though! Rarely full. Otherwise parking in the main carpark under the Tourist Office means you can choose between access to the Super Morzine or Pleney.

Les Gets, center (11 min), very convenient paid parking at the base of the Chavannes piste, otherwise there is free parking around the village and near the Mt Chery lift, it is often full after 10am though.

Les Gets, Encrenaz (12min), accessed up the hill behind Essert Romand, my favourite spot, easy free parking, ski in and ski out too. You can still buy a Mt Chery local area pass which keeps the costs down. The downsides are that some people get bored of Mt Chery quickly and it’s not great for beginners, you need to be able ski red runs. And there are no shops or ski hire!

Avoriaz, Prodains (17min), expensive car park and can sometimes be a fair walk to the lift. However when you get there it is one of the best lifts in the world! Often full in the holidays. Useful if you want night-time access to Avoriaz as the lift stay open until at least 23hr.
