Ski Holidays in Chatel

Why Ski in Chatel?

Chatel is located on the French side of the Swiss/French boarder within the popular Portes du Soleil ski area with covers 650km of linked pistes and includes other popular villages such as Les Gets, Morzine, and Avoriaz and is a perfect base for all wanting to ski or snow board this huge ski area.

Chalet has expanded over recent years but the village centre still retains the charm of an alpine village where cattle are still housed in sheds over the winter months. Modern chalet style buildings sit comfortably side by side with more traditional farm buildings, many now converted to chalet style buildings. Nearly 40 working farms are still operational today which for many of our clients gives the resort a real mountain feel and charm not found in higher purpose built resorts.

In Chalet, Ski Line offers a good choice of catered chalets, some wonderful family run hotels and a selection of self catered apartments.

The local slopes are some of the quietest in the whole ski area and even on the peak dates queues are rare, although some of the local village lifts can experience delays on peak weekends, but with planning and use of the local buses these can be avoided.

Chatel is one of the first ski resorts reached from the channel crossing points and is therefore a popular choice with our clients who prefer to drive. A word of warning, parking spaces are limited unless you pay for covered parking that is available.
