One of the smallest winter sports villages that are part of Les Portes du Soleil La Chapelle d'Abondance. The location of this small ski holiday destination is between Abondance and Châtel and around 1000 meters in altitude. The village is full of large chalets with colorful shutters (windows) and many places where you can view and buy Art, since the village is known as a place for creative people.
Slope information Les Portes du Soleil - La Chapelle d'Abondance
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.
