Chatel is a traditional alpine village with all the charm of the Haute-Savoie region. Nestling at the head of the Drance valley close to the Swiss border the village manages to provide modern amenities for skiers, walkers and cyclists without losing any of it's wonderful traditional appearance. With a wide variety of restaurants and bars Chatel has something for all tastes and you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to finding things to do... ski all day on or off-piste in the Portes du Soleil system or check out some of the gentler family friendly pistes close to the apartment. For summer visitors, Chatel is an undiscovered treasure trove of walking trails and mountain paths. Fancy a gentle day? - then there's traditional Savoyard produce available from the farmers at one of the local markets or perhaps a trip to the 15th century abbey nearby. Access to villages on the Swiss side is easy over the Pas de Morgins bringing the high alps within 90 mins drive or lake Geneva in 30 mins.
