CHÂTEL | 1100 - 2200 m
Les Portes du Soleil  
Châtel, which has managed to maintain its Savoy mountain village character, is a family-oriented ski resort. But beware! The resort's friendly atmosphere does not prevent any matter related to Skiing (with a capital "S"!) from being taken very seriously! From the resort's snowy heights, you will witness all of Lake Léman's majestic beauty as it reveals to you-under a new light-the white slopes of the Valais massif. When you regain your breath, you will be ready to explore the Portes du Soleil, a world-renowned skiable domain that stretches along both sides of the French-Swiss border.
