Mum’s Ski Trip
We had a lovely stay at Claire & Tony’s apartment. They were very accommodating to our needs of an early checkin and late checkout. It was in a good location in the centre of the village, with easy access to all amenities. The bed linen and towels were excellent quality. We would recommend the apartment and would stay here again. Many thanks for a pleasurable stay.

So good!
Spacious apartment with plenty of room to relax after a day of skiing. Lovely big sofa, on which we could lounge comfortably. The kitchen is very well equipped. Super comfortable double beds. Great family bathroom with a decent sized shower and the added bonus of another shower room. If conditions are good you wouldn’t need to leave La Grande Terche but it is a great base to explore what the rest of the Portes Du Soleil has to offer. We loved our stay!

Perfect Skiing Spot for Our Young Family
The perfect family apartment for our 2 young children, aged 4 and 2 and 4 adults! The ideal location in Saint Jean D’aulps at the bottom of the ski lift and next to restaurants, shops and the ski hire. we wanted somewhere convenient, modern, tidy and comfortable to make skiing as easy and enjoyable for our toddlers and the apartment truly delivered. we couldn’t have asked for more and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in saint jean d’aulps or just plan to take a family skiing. highly recommend

Perfect place to ski Porte Du Soleil
A great 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment. Will suit 6 adults or a family with children. Location right by the lift at Grande Terche. We didn’t ski there this time but drove to ardent lift to ski most days and then one day in Les Gets. There are 2-3 great restaurants right next door and a small supermarket. We cooked in most nights. Very well equipped. Even a garage for the car too. Would definitely stay again!

The apartment was fantastic. Everything there that you could possibly need for a weeks skiing.
The spacious apartment was ideal for two families of four. Bedrooms were nice and roomy and the convenience of two toilets and a shower as well as a bath made it very easy to accommodate everyone in the morning getting ready before hitting the slopes. We arrived to a very clean and tidy apartment and couldn’t fault the convenice of having the ski hire shop next door and the telecabin a mere two minutes walk away- and that was with tour boots and skis! Would recommend the apartment to anyone looking for a great weeks skiing with a comfortable, homely fully equipet place to stay.

Kids first ski trip!
Amazing place, so close to the ski lift - this made it so easy with two 9/10 year olds to get to ski school on time etc. Hired our ski's etc from Muffat Sports which also allowed us to leave them there after each day on the slopes, so easy and time saving. The apartment has a lovely mountain view, so cosy and comfortable - beds/sofa and gorgeous bathroom/shower upstairs. Just the right items in the kitchen and appliances, useful pointers found in a black folder for using the cooker etc. We loved it and will be back in the future. Many thanks for all the communications with the owners - very easy to communicate with. 10/10 holiday... thank you!

Perfect apartment
We adored staying in this mountainside apartment. There was ample space for my husband and I plus our three children 15, 11 and 9. It can easily accompany 10. Location was fabulous with enough going on near-by including a little mules et frites event. Locale parking was easily accessible and free. One useful piece of information would be the location of the apartment in the block, it was tricky to find as units S and D are intertwined. But once we’d had a good look around we did locate the place. All in all highly recommended

Ski village in summer
Top flat in a block in a ski station 8 mins drive above a village. Well equipped kitchen, lovely view of mountains from balcony. We brought blackout blinds to block sunlight in early mornings, and needed them. Hot water takes 10 mins to come on in summer as the block of flats (and the ski station) is deserted outside ski season. Owners helpful, but live outside UK, so all communications are with local rental agency.

Excellent skiing holiday
We stayed for the first time at this resort as it was recommend by friends. The resort is ideal for a family and especially one like ours with 2 young beginners. The resort is quite but has excellent ski facilities. We all had lessons at ESF which were excellent and the slopes were great. It snowed everyday we stayed and we had fantastic on and off piste conditions. Skiing was really a pleasure. The apartment is excellently positioned and only a small walk to everything. The place really is a home from home with everything you could need in a week. All the rooms are spacious and well equipped, and the rooms are all nicely decorated with all mod cons including an excellent wifi network. Everything is clean and well maintained. The only thing we would change is the length of time we stayed and we will will be back next year!

Comfortable
Tony and Claire are great hosts - communicative, flexible and helpful. The apartment is well appointed, close to ski lifts and a couple of bars/restaurants and a small supermarket. Difficult to find initially (particularly in the dark late at night) but once you know your way it is straightforward. The apartment is spacious and can sleep a large number of people, but is slightly tired now (bathrooms and decor need updating but everything is in working order). WiFi doesn’t seem to work, but mobile reception was fine. A comfortable place to spend a few nights.

About the host

Hosted by Tony & Claire Potts

Host profile image
After leaving the UK in 2003, we are currently teaching at an International School in Mozambique, Southern Africa after teaching 8 years in Zambia, 6 years in Dubai and 5 years in the Philippines. Since the birth of our daughter and son, we decided to find ourselves a home - somewhere that they know is theirs. What better than to combine the things we love!

Why they chose this property

We have being skiing in La Grande Terche since 2004 and when it came to buying a home this was our first choice, nowhere else could offer us the same possibilities as here.

We finally found the perfect apartment for us; light, airy and plenty of space. They say you know you have found the perfect home when you first walk in and this was definitely true for us.

And instead of the apartment sitting empty throughout the ski year, we have decided to rent it out so others can experience some of the same magic and joy!

What makes this property unique

* Light, airy and spacious rooms
* WiFi - limited due to the surrounding mountains (we are impatiently waiting for fibre to reach the area!)
* Smart TV with Netflix and YouTube
* Satellite TV with some British and French Channels
* Modern
* Garage & Ski Cave
* Slopes 50m away
* Small, family-oriented village
* Friendly Ski School
* Quiet slopes
* Two of the best ski runs in the region (I think!) - La Grande Terche (3.5km red run) & Roc d'Enfer (an amazing 18km run)
* Just over an hour and a half from the airport
* Fantastic restaurants nearby
