Chatel retains the original charm of a rustic Alpine village whilst accommodating an active winter and summer holiday season. The apartment is on the edge of the village in Petit Chatel offering spectacular views and the chance to get away from it all. Chatel lies at the heart of the famous Portes du Soleil winter sports area, which spans the border between France and Switzerland. In summer, mountain bike trails utilise some of the slopes. From your doorstep you can walk through woodland or over alpine pastures to Switzerland, or down into Chatel to explore the shops and restaurants. There are hundreds of well marked itineraries for mountaineers and walkers of all abilities, whatever the season. The village is only 45 minutes drive down the mountain to the sophisticated towns on the shores of Lake Geneva and the Rhone valley, providing good access for the exploration of the mountains of France, Switzerland and Italy.
