Brian and I have skied for far too many years to mention, but as our family grew we realised it would make sense to have our own place as a second home for both summer and winter skiing. We looked at many resorts but totally fell in love with Chatel as soon as we saw it. Chatel is so pretty. In the summer the traditional farming village has a lovely atmosphere along with fantastic festivals such as Belle Dimanche which includes the most beautiful cow competition in the mountains! In winter the skiing area is so vast we have never been bored as the range of mountain bars and restaurants are unbelievable as you ski from France to Switzerland and back constantly. In recent years the new trendy bars and "Rock the Piste" festival have added to the fun on the slopes. Every year there appears innovation to improve the facilities and enjoyment for guests visiting Chatel which is great to see and confirms commitment to keep improving the region.
Ask anyone who has skied the Porte du Soleil and they will tell you how amazing the ski area is and in the summer the variety of activities will keep everyone in the family happy. With a wonderful view over the lake and down the valley, the terrace is a fabulous place to have dinner watching the sun go down and when the snow falls the apartment is so cosy. There is a Multi pass that guests can purchase in the summer season which enables guests to access local facilities (lifts, activities etc) at reduced rates.
