GEOGRAPHY/DESCRIPTION 

Châtel is a village, with its road and its streets, and not a hill station where everything is nearby. Châtel is a "village resort" of Haute Savoie, located in the Abondance Valley, in the heart of the Portes du Soleil international ski area.
This resort skilfully combines stone, wood, the pastures and snow. Close to Switzerland, Châtel offers its guests a spirit and an environment in the purest Savoyard tradition.

An almost magical balance between tradition and modernity, Châtel offers visitors the serene face of an alpine valley spoiled by nature. When returning from walks, take a moment to stroll through the busy streets of the village, find the thrills of a summer toboggan run or just watch the work of artisans on market days.
