Chalet L'Escalade is located on the main road into the hamlet of Bas Thex, directly adjacent Saint-Jean-d'Aulps.
People who stay here generally ski at either the Grande Terche lift directly across the valley from Bas Thex, or one of the many ski lifts of nearby Morzine.

Morzine is a thriving ski-hub enjoying more and more popularity each season.
Morzine's closest lift is the Ardent Telecabine, and this is approximately a 15 minute drive.
With quick access via Telecabin from Morzine to Avoriaz, you can access the Portes-du-Soleil with it's 650km of piste and great off-piste. You can also easily access the Nyon and Le Pleney ski lifts leading over to the Les Gets resort area.
