We first discovered this lovely village in 2016 when we came to stay with friends, they convinced us that we must come and experience Châtel and assured us we would “quite” like it. We more than quite liked it, we instantly fell in love with the village, and felt compelled to exhaust the property market until we found the perfect chalet.
Châtel is unlike so many of the major ski areas, it remains relatively unspoilt and still has an authentic French feel about it. It sits right on the border with Switzerland. It is surrounded by many working farms and you may come across the farmers bringing their Abondance cattle through the village. If you don't see them you will certainly hear their bells. The village comes alive in the summer with a startling show of wild mountain flowers, for which it has won many awards.
Fabulous chalet & skiing the Portes du Soleil
Just had an amazing week at Chalet Les Frangins. Great location, spacious, exceptional high quality but homely fixtures & fittings. The kitchen, as others have said, had everything needed to cater for a large group. We were greeted by N & S, who gave us a tour & instructions on how to use the appliances etc. The fire was set and all rooms were beautifully presented. Skihire2u delivered & fitted all skis & boots as the group assembled and Frances & Glen @Alpine Quests facilitated the lift passes & transfers from GVA. It was all so easy thanks to their hard work. Valley views, pool table, spa, sauna, Alexa and plenty of spectacular skiing in all directions! Thank you Adam for sharing this gem of a chalet with us. We highly recommend it to others & hope to be back soon.
