The Portes du Soleil

Châtel, an authentic village resort

Nestled at the heart of the Portes du Soleil ski area, Châtel embodies the authentic charm of a traditional Alpine village. Its many chalets, with their distinctive local architecture, balconies adorned with colour and carved details, echo the resort's proximity to Swiss Valais.

Picture-postcard landscapes are guaranteed: our English-speaking friends nickname it the "Chocolate box resort", in reference to the resorts depicted on elegant boxes of chocolates.

At the heart of one of the largest ski areas in Europe, Châtel enjoys an exceptional setting. More than 50 years ago, a few visionary individuals imagined the first cross-border ski domain in the world. The Portes du Soleil were born, today linking 12 resorts across 2 countries.

"The Portes du Soleil came into being thanks to the determination of those who wished that the mountain be within reach of all, according to each one's dream."

A summer resort, a winter resort

Châtel is far more than a lively winter resort. The mountain is lived here all year round.

In winter, Alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and snow walks shape the days at the heart of the Portes du Soleil.

In summer, the resort offers a wide range of activities. Mountain biking takes centre stage: family-friendly trails to discover the mountain, electric mountain bikes and a bike park capable of hosting international MTB competitions.

In 2023, the resort hosted the MTB World Cup, delighting connoisseurs and amateurs alike.

A place to come together

Whether you come to recharge alone or to share moments with family, as a couple or with friends, the Abondance Valley offers a wealth of experiences to live.

Do not hesitate to ask us for our favourite addresses or to consult the articles on our blog for inspiration. For official information, you can also visit the Tourist Office website.

Thanks to the Multipass…

…discover the mountain in summer with activities to suit every taste and the whole family: treasure hunt, fishing, hot-air balloon flight, hiking, escape game, climbing, paragliding, tennis, aquatic centre or even Ferrari driving on mountain roads.

And to extend the adventure, head to Lake Geneva.

Between plateaus and lake shores, the possibilities are endless.

A particular highlight is the rafting descent of the Dranse with Evolution 2 Thonon: an attentive team to savour the freshness of the river in complete safety, in the heart of an environment rich in local flora and fauna.

After the effort, time to unwind.

Wellness enthusiasts can relax at Forme d'O: a heated outdoor pool with views over the mountains, sauna and hammam.

For an even more exclusive moment, discover the Ayurvedic massages of Monsieur and Madame José at the Authentique Voyage Spa at Hôtel Macchi.

The proximity of the Portes du Soleil also allows you to discover picturesque villages and to savour the local gastronomy in traditional restaurants.
