About Chatel
Chatel is a genuine French mountain village that’s grown from its farming heritage into a charming, picture postcard ski resort. The village is full of traditional alpine chalets and surrounded by pine trees, benefiting for being on the south facing slope at the top of the Abondance valley ensuring great views of the surrounding mountains and plenty of winter sunshine. Although not a ski in/out resort this slight drawback is more than made up for by the stunning location and ambiance of the village. Most people agree that the short transfer back to the village is well worth the effort because it enables you get to spend the rest of the day enjoying the beautiful surroundings.
The village possesses a top selection of traditional French restaurants, a diverse range of bars with a great après ski atmosphere and live music nights, plus a late night bowling alley. Of course all of your shopping needs are catered for too, plenty of ski shops, a range of souvenir shops, plus a selection of specialty food shops so you can stock up on Savoyarde sausages & cheese. All within strolling distance of our ski chalet.
