Ski area Châtel

With the lift pass "Châtel Espace Liberté" you have access to approx. 146 km of piste which are all connected via 61 lifts, right in the heart of Les Portes du Soleil. The skiable terrain is located between 1,100 and 2,200 m altitude. Due to the close proximity of Lake Geneva there is regular precipitation and therefore lots of snow during winter. Should the snow not come as expected there are 170 snow canons which guarantee winter fun from mid December until the end of April (provided the temperatures allow it). Besides the Châtel area there are also pistes in the areas of Torgon, Morgins and La Chapelle d'Abondance, which are included in the lift pass.

In Châtel the little ones will find entertainment too: on the ski playground they will have the chance to learn how to manage their skis playfully, or they can participate in one of the five children's ski schools. Childcare service for babies from 3 months to kids of 6 years is a special service offered in Châtel. Thanks to its large selection of green and blue pistes Châtel is very well suited for beginners and pleasure skiers. With 26 red and 9 black pistes however, also more experienced skiers will get their money's worth.

The Smoothpark in Super-Châtel offers various obstacles suitable for beginners and professionals.

With the lift pass "Portes du Soleil" you can find 650 km of pure slope enjoyment, which can be accessed via the connections to Avoriaz or the Swiss resorts Torgon and Morgins (see ski region).

French cheese enthusiasts should not miss out on a visit to the local dairy farms, where you can watch how traditional cheese is made. The local speciality of course is the excellent French cheese fondue, which is prepared here with lots of traditional influence and enjoyed in a sociable gathering.

At the Forme d'O aquatic centre, you and your family can enjoy fun and relaxing moments. Several pools in the indoor area as well as an outdoor pool invite you to spend a beautiful time off piste.
