The largest internationally connected ski resort in the world

is at your feet: 2 alpine countries, 14 resorts, 650 km of slopes of all levels, almost 200 cable cars, snow parks, half pipes, boarder X and snowcross, hundreds of km of freeride, and 1 ski pass. This ski area is so rich in discovery opportunities and events that several stays are not enough to fully enjoy its charms. Moguls and slopes with fantastic panorama, the pleasures of gliding and watching are not lacking in the midst of conifers and alpine chalets.

From the beginner to the expert
here every skier will find the slope for his level. Moreover, Châtel is located in the heart of the international ski resort Les Portes du Soleil and has direct connections to the Swiss stations Torgon and Morgins and on the French side to Avoriaz. So you can start in Châtel in the morning and return there in the evening, after visiting 5 French-Swiss stations.

With the ski pass for the Châtel lifts you can ski on the whole ski area of the Châtel station. (Village, Linga - Plaine Dranse, Super-Châtel, Barbossine), also on the whole territory of Torgon (Switzerland), the descent to Morgins, up to the Chapelle d'Abondance on the sector "Braitaz" : 130 km of slopes and 58 lifts !

The "Smooth Park" or snowpark of Super-Châtel
On the sector of Super-Châtel is the snowpark area, fully equipped for snowboarding and accessible by the drag lifts Coqs and Bossons. There is the choice between a halfpipe of 120 meters, a boardercross and a slopstyle of 800 m..., and can also ride between the firs, perform woops or try handrails!

80 kilometers of created and marked trails...
... to allow you to get to know the winter nature in all its beauty and diversity. These different trails have been designed to meet the expectations of everyone: from walks of one hour to sporty hikes of 4 to 5 hours. This practice of snowshoeing, in all its forms, is an ideal leisure activity to share the most beautiful moments with family or friends in the heart of the Alps, of course with all the pleasures that this sport conceals. Châtel, the neighboring station of Morgins in Switzerland, offers more than 60 km of marked and prepared trails for walkers and snowshoe hikers who can explore the still untouched nature for true treasures in the heart of the Portes du Soleil area. People can exercise alone or with a mountain professional.

Châtel is also a ski resort for children
The mountains are a natural playground, so children like it, and the mountains reward them well for it. Entering the eternal snow, discovering the joys of skiing, surfing or sledging, playing hide and seek under the fir trees with permanent Christmas decorations... Running in the mountains, spending an evening near the summits, climbing, hiking.... All these are magical experiences and feelings of happiness that are brought back from the sack full of memories when you return home.

In the kingdom of snow, children are king. In Châtel, everything has been thought so that the family can spend an excellent vacation, each according to his rhythm and his occupations

The toboggan run for the children : one toboggan run for the children from 2 to 6 years old and another one for the children from 6 years old and more in Pré-la-Joux. Another toboggan run will be installed next to Châtel center. Good humor, decoration workshops for each age category, carousel, animations for parents and children.
