Great location, easy to get to by road or air. Something for everyone, big area with guaranteed snow, expansive off piste area, good snow parks. Pistes are well groomed, quiet off peak, lifts have good speeds, busy at the bottom of Avoriaz to get back Chatel. Excellent food up the mountain and in the villages. Enjoy!!

I think the resort Has lots of options for après ski and restaurants especially in the small town areas Near the back there are plenty of runs which are always abandoned. And there is a very good selection of black runs.bin terms of off piste the selection isn't amazing but if you scout out where you want to go and plan to cross country ski a bit you can find plenty of areas with great off piste action.

slopes very accessible, not a huge resort though. Great food locations in town. Some very nice runs further up the mountain

I have been going every year at least 3 times to Chatel since 2007 and I have learnt to ski there. It is in my opinion one of the most well rounded resorts I have ever been to. It has a great selection of beginner through advanced slopes within the portes du soleil connections. Chatel itself is a very family friendly resort with an exceptional selection of ski schools and beginner slopes. It has a great selection of restaurants in the town that offer an array of cuisines for every type of eater. Great parking for those with cars near slopes but more importantly an excellent bus network that can take you all throughout the resort.

Really good value base within the middle of Porte du Soleil - accommodation often much cheaper than Avoriaz/Morzine, but you are just a couple of lifts away from the same skiing (plus Chatel skiing is excellent in its own right)

Having grown up skiing in Châtel every year, it is a place close to my heart. The skiing is great with plenty of great places to eat. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a family resort.

Chatel is a beautiful village attached to the huge Portes du Soleil ski area. In its own Chatel provides a great ski experience but with the PDS on its doorstep it becomes a mega ski. The village is quaint and traditional but big enough to have a huge choice of places to eat and drink. A fab aqua centre with indoor and outdoor pools. Bowling, ice rink night skiing are just a few of the other activities available.

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.
