The Mountains are Calling …

Countdown to Winter
The mornings are getting colder, the evenings are drawing in and our thoughts are turning back to the mountains.
The countdown to winter in Châtel has begun.
Before long, the green slopes will be covered in snow, the lifts will start turning and the Portes du Soleil will come alive for another ski season.
We are already thinking about those first perfect days on the mountain. Freshly groomed pistes, blue skies, quiet forest runs and the freedom to ski from France into Switzerland before stopping for a long lunch on a sunny terrace.
It is difficult to beat.

What Makes the Perfect Ski Holiday?
The best ski holidays are about much more than the skiing.
They begin with opening the curtains to fresh snow and end with everyone back together in the chalet, tired and happy after a brilliant day in the mountains.
It might be hot chocolate with the children, an unforgettable mountain lunch or finding a quiet piste that you seem to have entirely to yourself.
Later, it is skis left in the boot room, a dip in the hot tub and a glass of wine beside the fire while snow falls outside.
These are the moments that make a ski holiday special—and the reason so many of our guests return to Châtel year after year.

Winter in Châtel
Châtel has everything we love about the Alps.
It remains a beautiful, traditional Savoyard village, yet sits at the heart of one of the largest linked ski areas in Europe. From the high slopes of Avoriaz to the quiet tree-lined runs around Châtel and the villages across the Swiss border, every ski day can be completely different.
Brilliant skiing for all abilities, fabulous mountain restaurants and endless opportunities to explore. Best of all, you return each afternoon to a village that still feels genuinely French.
