What a gem! Chatel is a well keep secret
from us Brits, but speak to anyone who has been and they say it is one of the best experinces in the Alps, as the saying goes i liked it so much i bought (the village ) ok an apartment.Linked to the worlds largest cross boarder ski area(portes Du Soleil)the skiing is endless covering all abilities.The main reson that we bought is for the summer activities to mention just a few hiking , mountain biking with downhill runs for all levels just let the ski lift do the work and gravity do the rest, paragliding , white water rafting,outdoor pool with childrens pool/slides, go-karting, horse riding and many more thingsto many to mention just checkout www.chatel.com and see for yourself not forgetting the superman ride on a cable from one mountain to another and if all this is for you and you want somewhere to stay checkout my web site www.ski-fly-bike.co.uk this is not a buisness its just for a select few to rent to help with the running costs but most of all to share the Chatel experience.
