Chatel is a village and commune in the Haute-Savoie departement of France. It is a popular ski resort located in the Northern French Alps on the French/Swiss border.
Despite Chatel's development into a major ski resort it still retains many of its traditional alpine characteristics.
Chatel itself has an extensive ski area with runs to suit skiers and boarders of all abilities. The whole village is served by a free ski-bus which gives easy access to ski lifts.
The resort is also part of the vast Portes du Soleil domain - the largest international linked ski area in the world with over 650 km of varied terrain spread across 8 French and 4 Swiss resorts. This gives skiers and boarders an almost endless choice of runs on their doorstep.
Although famous as a winter destination, Châtel also has activities to offer in summer. Visitors to the area over the summer months can enjoy numerous activities such as windsurfing & sailing (on nearby Lake Geneva), white-water rafting, kayaking, paragliding, walking, mountain biking or simply relaxing in the sun. Nearby towns include Morzine, Avoriaz and Morgins.

How To Prepare For Your Lake Tahoe Vacation?
I like the idea of taking winter vacations because it can be a way to enjoy the snow and take a break from trying to live normal daily life while fighting with it. Snow is beautiful but not if you're sitting on the highway for three hours watching it fall and snarl traffic, preventing you from getting home. One of my favorite winter vacations was the time we went to Vermont to ski and snowshoe, and even though I was certainly cold, it didn't bother me as much because I was doing things that were fun. I wasn't waking up in the cold and heading out to work in the dark, feeling like my blood would freeze before I ever reached a warm building.
