Chatel has retained its original village charm while it has blossomed with the growth of snow sports in the Portes du Soleil ski area. Its reputation for snow defies its medium altitude (something to do with Mont Blanc) and its summer climate is ideal. More recently the summer season has become popular with hundreds of marked itineraries for mountain bikers and walkers and a vast range of leisure and sports activities. Chalet Iris is a short walk from the centre of Chatel with its many restaurants, bars and shops, but is on a quiet road with spectacular mountain views. Close to the Swiss border this is also a great centre for touring the lakes and mountains of France Switzerland and Northern Italy.
