Ive skied at Châtel since I was 5, the town is well equipped with ski shops/restaurants and the bus route to Châtel and Pre Le Jeux is ace! The slopes are well looked after and considerate for all levels - Pre Le Jeux has a wider range of skiing ability slopes for more advanced.

A lesser known resort in the giant Portes du Soleil area. Chatel benefits from snow sure north facing slopes, extensives snow making, lots of off piste and runs to suit all levels.

Best ski resort !!! Great snow park great food!!!!!!!!! Based in « Les Portes du Soleil » skiing between France and Switzerland is just amazing!!

Weve been skiing in Chatel for 10 years and love the resort so much we bought an apartment there. The PDS area is vast and caters for every level/type of skier and boarder. We particularly like the fact that Châtel is still an Alpine town with working farms and no high-rise buildings. The town has a good variety of shops, bars and restaurants that cater for all types of visitors.

Its a nice place, we went in February half term and it didnt feel as busy as other places. It was quite warm but the snow held up well higher up. Was a bit slushy lower down in the afternoons but still enjoyable. Great views and lots of runs. We stayed in a catered Chalet. But when we did try to prebook an evening meal out one night, we struggled to find somewhere who would cater for 8 people.

The perfect place for a lads holiday or a family one, Chatel offers the best of both worlds. Would 100% recommend checking out the club on a Wednesday night. Or a local pub called avalanche

Very Family-friendly! Nice atmosphere and stunning view. Would definitely recommend for a good week of skiing.

As an intermediate-advance skier, and only on the hill for 5 days total, Ive found Chatel to be an absolute gem for almost every skier/ snowboarder. I visited with my girlfriend who had never seen proper snow before - she absolutely raves about the experience and ski school. While she was in lessons I tried to get to know the resort and was not disappointed. The park was very well maintained for you park rats out there. I think it merges the traditional ski experience with modern tech - almost never had a problem with wait times. The only wait I really had was at open time where the cues were quite long, in fairness though this happens at any large ski resort. In terms of accommodation you really do have your pick of the litter, tons of options many of which are close enough to walk/ ski to the lift. Apres is not the typical experience you might get somewhere like Chamonix but there were plenty of great bars with good music, and tight but fun dance floors. All around good option for families, solo skiers, couples, really anyone.
