Chatel

The apartment is situated within easy walking distance of the very pretty Alpine village centre where there are the usual shopping facilities, including ski-hire shops, and also some very good restaurants, serving typical French cuisine and Savoyard specialities. There are also cinemas and discos as well as bars and pubs. There is a free ski bus service from the village centre to the main ski lifts and one of the ski buses stops just outside the apartment. There are several ski schools, including the Ecole de Ski Francais, teaching both downhill and cross-country ski-ing and snow-boarding. There is also a ski-school and day-centre for young children.

Chatel is one of the resorts in the Portes du Soleil - it is easy to ski to other resorts such as Champery, Avoriaz, Morgins and Les Crosets - and the ski-ing is very varied, ranging from easy blue runs to the notorious Swiss Wall, a difficult black run also known as la Chavanette. Good skiers can also go to Chamonix for the spectacular Vallee Blanche run or to les Diablerets for the run down from the glacier at over 10,500 feet.

There is a weekly street market on Wednesdays which brings local produce to the market

Mont Blanc Glacier and Mer de Glace
Chatel is on the French/Swiss border and the nearest Swiss village " Morgins " is only a couple of miles away. The major Swiss resort of Montreux is not far either.

For those who are really energetic, it is not far to Chamonix from where Mont Blanc can be climbed (but only by experts!).
