Châtel is a traditional French alpine village and is also part of the Portes du Soleil, one of the largest ski regions in Europe, covering 12 resorts including Avoriaz, Morzine, Les Gets in France and Champéry, Torgon and Morgins in Switzerland.
In all it has over 400 miles of ski slopes.
Châtel is one of the premier mountain-biking/VTT areas, with lifts open during the summer for walkers and bikers alike. You can also enjoy horse riding and pony trekking, paragliding, thermal baths, windsurfing and boating on Lake Geneva, trips to the nearby Olympic Museum, Water Parks, the Cailler Chocolate Factory (a personal favourite) and Historical Geneva, to name but a few.
