LA CHAPELLE D'ABONDANCE | 1020 - 1800 m                                                        Les Portes du Soleil
This little resort is one of the numerous access gateways to the vast French-Swiss Portes du Soleil ski area. But Chapelle d'Abondance is also a Savoyard village that has maintained every bit of its charm and fosters the family aspects of a mountain holiday. Easy-to-navigate pistes, bountiful sunshine, and a superb view of Lake Léman promise visitors many beautiful days of skiing. At nightfall, you will return to the friendly mountain village atmosphere to sit down to a meal of potato pancakes accompanied by generous helpings of cheese, the local speciality.
