Châtel is one of the skiing holiday destinations within the ski area Les Portes du Soleil that is situated exactly against the Swiss border. Quite possibly the best choice for a family skiing holiday in France! Located immediately adjacent to the slopes and filled with beautiful old buildings, there is a nice atmosphere in the village surrounding the ski resort.

Slope information Les Portes du Soleil - Châtel

The ski resort of Portes du Soleil is a collection of 14 destinations in the Haute Savoie spread across France and Switzerland and linked together. The winter sports area is enormous, and a veritable dream for the demanding ski fan and beginner skier! Plaine Dranse, perhaps the most beautiful slopes of the area, starting from Avoriaz, is easily accessible. This valley has plenty to offer to any skier and snowboarder of every skill-level. Beginners are often attracted to the area around Le Pleney which is directly accessible by ski-tram or cabin lift. One of the most challenging slopes can be found around the famous Col de Joux Plane, where beautiful long black slopes go all the way down into the valley. In the Swiss part there is the Mur at Chavanette (towards Avoriaz), which is very challenging.

Apres ski in Châtel

The cuisine in Châtel is known as very good, often fed by the local ingredients of the many farms in the area who are still in operation. Great to see for yourself also, is the cheese-making at one of the surrounding farms. Châtel is a quiet and rural ski resort with lots of fun for the whole family.

Snowboarding in Châtel

A ski holiday with everything a snowboarder could wish for: a few plate-lifts, lots of off-piste opportunities and some great boardercross slopes (especially those in Nyon, near Morzine), as well as snow parks. The off-piste runs from the Col du Fornet are great, and offer almost all year round an abundance of powder. Snowboarders that like to descend past the tree lines can enjoy beautiful areas in the Les Gets neighborhood.
