Chatel is a magnetic village which will entice you back year after year. A family resort but with subtle nightlife, it means it caters for all group dynamics.
Having invested millions in snow cannons and reservoirs to support the snow cannons, Chatel is re-known as a snow sure resort. The snow management of the pistes is incredible and offers a wide and diverse range for all abilities. From beginner to advanced skier, you will be gratified. Chatel is a quintessential alpine resort, beautifully tree lined and charming. The tree line protects the snow from the high winds found at high altitude resorts and also provides shade to ensure the snow stays for the entire season. The treeline skiing also offers fun and opportunity for all levels of skiing. In 16 years of being in Chatel, we have known the entire resort to be closed for skiing for only 3 days total.
