Summer: The Morzine complex is the largest mountain-biking area in the Alps. Lifts open for bikes from the mid/end of June. One of the hardest via-ferrata climbing routes in France, at "The Elephant", is just 10 minutes' walk along the road past the ruined Abbey (there are easy routes too, of course). Chatel's high-speed zip wire covers over three kilometres, in two stages. There are also lots of beautiful hiking routes (information on alpine flowers can be provided); rafting; paint-balling; climbing; paragliding; kayaking (on the lake at Montriond, 10 minutes away); sailing (at Thonon-les-Bains, on Lake Geneva [Lac Leman], 20 minutes away); canyoning and other outdoor activities.

Winter: Skiing and snowboarding. The Portes du Soleil, with 200 lifts in total, ranks as the second largest ski areas in the world. Within the Portes du Soleil, the Morzine/Avoriaz area has the largest complex of ski-lifts - in two weeks you need never repeat yourself. Le Grande Terche is not linked to the rest of PdS so is often quieter, great for beginners or those looking for off piste. The chalet also has a lovely comfortable feel so perhaps on a white-out day nobody would blame you for just deciding to stay home.

The Route De L'Abbaye is a quiet road with a mixture of local French residents and foreign/second-home-owned properties. St Jean D'Aulps has the feel of a 'real' village, as opposed to a purpose built resort - the buzz of a modern resort is just 5 minute drive up the road at La Grande Terche or in Morzine. There is a very good Petit Carrefour mini-supermarket, pattisserie, boulangerie chacuterie in the village (15 minutes walk), as well as restaurants, cafe/ English bar and other shops. There is a big Carrefour supermarket (supplying all the local area) half-way to Morzine (5 minutes by car).
