Welcome to Chatel Ski Resort

Nestled right next to the Franco-Swiss border, Châtel oozes rural Savoyarde charm. Little rippers and rookies can practise their turns on sunny slopes above the village. While seasoned skiers can explore a vast web of runs in the Portes du Soleil ski area. Cruise stunning tree-lined pistes across two countries, or head further up the valley towards Avoriaz for more challenging terrain.

Ready for some freeride action? La Leche boasts giant powder bowls, vertical drops and natural kickers. And if big kids want to perfect their rail slides and backflips, the Super Châtel snow park will keep them entertained for hours.

Things to do in Chatel

Get set for some thrilling activities off the pistes in Châtel. Dare to hurtle down the mountain head-first on an airboard. Or soar across the snowy valleys at high speed on the Fantasticable zipline. Big smiles guaranteed!

Le plat du jour in Châtel is the locally made Abondance Cheese - the soft texture and fruity flavour is simply scrummy. And, as you’d expect, fondue and raclette are firmly on every menu. Bon appetit!

End a big day on the piste with a relaxing glass of vin rouge in a cosy hotel bar and enjoy a chilled evening before more adventures tomorrow. Bonne nuit!
