Résidence Le Forsythia - Châtel

Chatel has successfully managed to preserve the charm of the quiet mountain village it once was with all the buildings in keeping with the traditional style. Just a stones throw from the Swiss border and ideally located at the foot of the Portes du Soleil ski area it has everything you could want from a traditional skiing holiday. A free bus service runs all day to ferry people between their accommodation and the ski lifts so getting around is never a problem. With family or friends Chatel is welcoming for everyone with the usual variety of mountain activities such as ice skating and husky sledging available alongside skiing. The apres-ski life is more bar oriented with a really friendly atmosphere and great happy hours. Some of the bars offer live music and dj nights which are also good fun. If you're after authenticity and character then Chatel is the place for you.
