About this apartment rental

South facing, two bedroom first floor apartment in Petit Châtel (1280 mtr altitude, approx. 2 km from Châtel centre) sleeps 4 adults or 2 adults 2 children. Accommodation comprises: Lounge/kitchenette, 1 twin bedroom and 1 bedroom with 2 bunk beds and pull out bed, shower room with WC, separate WC, balcony with glorious views of Châtel and across the valley. Parking space, garage for mountain bikes, and a large external cupboard (Cave) for skis as well as ample cupboard space inside the apartment. We have WiFi, English Satellite TV as well as French TV. There is a frequent free bus service to Châtel lift stations that stops right outside. The nearest lift is a few minutes bus ride away and, in good snow conditions, you can ski almost to the door - off piste! The apartment is on the 1st floor, accessed from the 3rd floor entrance, so some stairs to negotiate.
Châtel is within the Portes du Soleil giving access to over 600km of ski runs. In the summer the village is a Mecca for mountain bikers with an excellent bike park, permanent downhill runs and plenty of cross country routes, if needed I could give you the name of an English speaking guide.

Location: Châtel has a good selection of bars and restaurants and a good après ski atmosphere.
Our apartment block is located in a quiet position in the Petit Châtel area, just above the town centre. It is walking distance to the centre, but during winter/summer seasons, there is a restaurant and Bar in Petit Châtel along with Sports shops and News Agent/Laundrette, and central facilities are accessible via the free bus service (seasonal).
Some of the bars located in the centre of Châtel offer customers the use of their complimentary bus service.
A rental car is recommended, or you can arrange airport transfers with local companies (contacts can be provided).

Summer: Why not just sit on our balcony taking in the superb view while having drinks or eating your meal?
For the energetic, this is superb walking country with many marked walks in the area into Switzerland. Use the Ski Lifts to reach the mountain tops to simply admire the wonderful views of the Alps and Mont Blanc in the distance, then perhaps walk down. During July and August some of the ski lifts are open and there is a regular free bus service from the stop outside our apartment.

Ideally located for the many mountain bike trails and the Bike Park at Pré-la-Joux. The Pre le Joux lift usually opens in mid June to provide access to Morzine, Avoriaz and Le Gets for mountain bikers and walkers.
Other activities include: fishing, climbing, horse riding, paragliding, swimming in the aqua centre (due to open Summer 2014), tennis, Luge, Devil Carts and junior bike park. There are some excellent mineral spars a short drive away, where you can relax after a days walking or skiing.

Perfect location.
Perfect location.
The apartment had everything we needed. The view from the balcony was amazing. Did some lovely walks especially to the green lake. We enjoyed visiting the goat village at Les Linderets. A must for anyone with children. We never felt the need to eat out anywhere. Self catered & just sat on the balcony each evening with a glass of wine watching the sun go down. WONDERFUL!!!!

Terrific views and a nice quiet environment for a relaxing holiday. The Wi-Fi and satellite tv were great for keeping in touch back home and for those of us who struggle to comprehend much of the French language, the English tv probs we're a nice way to wind down in an evening. Another super holiday in Chatel !

Fantastic holiday. great apartment.
Fantastic holiday. great apartment.
Apartment was warm and comfortable, had everything we needed and in an excellent location, which was easy to find. Perfect to have the bus stop just outside. Fantastic views from the balcony. Information from the owners was spot on. Far enough outside of town centre for peace and quite, yet within easy reach of all amenities. Thank you

Had a fantastic holiday in this apartment. It was clean, modern, warm and everything worked. Wifi was great - worked in all rooms and never 'dropped out' - a bonus as in my experience wifi in Chatel is not always reliable. Having been to Chatel many times we knew the location of the apartment and so were prepared for the walk back in the evening - its about 25 mins. The bus stops outside and runs regularly so no need to walk during the day. We also discovered this time that there is an evening service which runs back up to Petit Chatel until 11.30 on Wednesday and Friday which was useful. The apartment is great, 2 bedrooms and a living area which has plenty of space for 4 to relax in. The kitchen area is fully equipped - plenty of glasses, crockery and cutlery The balcony gives a fantastic view of the whole town and valley - we sat outside with blankets and hot chocolate on a couple of evenings. We were lucky this year as they have had great snow in Chatel (unlike the previous 2 yeas) - we did see people skiing back to the road outside the apartment but didn't manage to work out the route ourselves. Chatel is a beautiful village and I would highly recommend this apartment.
