The town of St Julien en Genevois is a mountain resort which really can claim to have... well, just about everything that anyone who enjoys the mountains could wish for! Situated right up against the border with Switzerland, St Julien en Genevois has access to great skiing and superb mountaineering, a full complement of entertainment and leisure activities, excellent shopping and some of the most beautiful natural scenery in Europe. To top all this, the great city of Geneva is right next door! What more could there be?
Whatever your reason for being in St Julien en Genevois, the town is sure to have something to offer you in the way of entertainment. Take your pick from shopping, dining in some really top quality restaurants, flirting with Lady Luck in a choice of casinos or dancing the night away in a nightclub.
If you enjoy a little culture, St Julien has a number of exhibitions and cultural events throughout the year, including art exhibitions, dance festivals and musical events. There is also a very well attended market held on Friday mornings, where you can purchase anything from local cheeses to live chickens!
The town has a plethora of man made entertainments to offer, but you can't miss the fact that it is surrounded by an area of truly fabulous natural beauty. St Julien lies on the Rhône River and is close to the Jura, Salève and Vuache Mountains. These are protected areas of huge natural importance, and are wonderful in any season for those who enjoy walking, cycling and simply discovering the flora and fauna of the mountains. Following the trails here will afford you the opportunity to see wild deer, and some very rare birds of prey.
St Julien has a great selection of sporting opportunities. The town has access to some excellent skiing and mountaineering, with professionals on hand to help you get to grips with both of these exciting sports. Gentler pleasures include cycling, walking and fishing, and there is plenty to do in any season.
The nearest airport is located at Geneva, just over the border into Switzerland. You can fly to Geneva with British Airways, Aer Lingus, easyJet, flybe or Jet2. Alternatively, Chambery has flights with flybe and Jet2. Rail travel will take you to Paris or Lille on Eurostar, then to either Lyon or Bourg St Maurice by TGV.
Predictably, in a fashionable Alpine town, property prices are high and desirable properties don't tend to stay on the market long. Among the most popular properties are high quality apartments within easy reach of the town centre with all its amenities and attractions.
