Ski:
Le Grattague is a small holiday hamlet which has very easy access to the St Gervais - Megeve ski area providing over 350kms of pistes. It is a very peaceful area at an elevation of about 1300m and although it is easily accessible, a car is essential.
There is a large telecabine, two chairlifts and tows at Le Bettex which is 1.5km away. The ski bus stops approx 100 m from the chalet. Slightly closer is a ski tow at Les Communailles which is approximately 1 km away although practically Le Bettex is easier. The skiing is suitable for all abilities with a number of green and blue runs and some more challenging reds and blacks for the more experienced skiers.
Excellent skiing can also be found at Les Contamines or Les Houches/Chamonix using the Mont-Blanc ski pass. There are 2 ski schools and local shops at Le Bettex (1.5 Kms). St Gervais, which is 10 minutes by car, has a full range of shops, bars and cafes. Cross country skiing and ice skating are also available
