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.
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!!!!

A very comfortable apartment containing all we needed for a relaxing holiday.
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.
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

Great apartment
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.

First class. 5 Star.
I have just re booked this Chalet for the fourth time. The location really appeals to me especially the view from the balcony, it is second to none, Chatél is is really picturesque location that is hidden away from the masses. The chalet is more than adequate for my family needs and is very well equipped, everything you need in a chalet is present and more including a dryer for our boots in the Den. The Chalet has always been immaculate on every visit and two toilets are a bonus. The owner is passionate about the Chalet and I have noticed improvements every year that we have been including this year free WiFi. Chris is very accommodating in requests for information and provides a comprehensive guide to the facilities in the Chalet and locally. You will not be disappointed if you book this chalet be it in the winter for skiing or summer for hill walking/cycling etc.

Superb apartment in great location
A lovely apartment in Petit Chatel. Well appointed and ideal for up to 4 people. Views off the south facing balcony are beautiful. Close to all main facilities with free bus in peak season to Chatel and beyond. Great new pools in Chatel and also Val D'Illiez spa worth a visit over the border. Will definitely be back.

'Location,Location,Location.'
The apartment has a fantastic position overlooking the village of Chatel and surrounding mountains. Sitting on the balcony you have wonderful 180 degrees view of the area and in the evening the summer sun sets around 21.00/ 22.00 hours.
The apartment is modern and has all the relevant day to day equipment and appliances you need.
The owner Chris Paul provides a full information leaflet not only of the apartment but the area in general and also provides various directions from Calais or Geneva airport in order for you to avoid bottlenecks at certain times of the day.
The area during the summer months is ideal for mountain biking and walking and in the winter skiing and snowboarding are ideal for beginners and intermediates.
In Chatel you are spoilt for choice with restaurants , good quality and service but there is a price ( when you are on holiday it is nice to spoil yourself).
I would recommend the apartment to friends and family without hesitation.

January 2013
An immaculate and well maintained appartment. Compact and comfortable. Ideal for skiing holiday or summer walking, cycling. Ski bus stops just outside and runs regularly until 18.30. Village is a 25 min walk down hill or 35 min walk back up the hill. Has 2 small supermarkets and selection of French/Swiss shops. We found the locals to be friendly. The surrounding Portes du Soleil ski area is vast and mostly interlinked ( may need 20 min walk or bus ride to some resorts). The selection of ski areas and runs would keep most skiers and boarders happy for weeks. I would recommend the Portes du Soleil ski pass rather than the Chatel one. Would definitely recommend and we plan to return next year. Sean Walsh Jan 2013

Summer walking trip
A well maintained, clean and well equipped apartment with a lovely view of the mountains. Great for summer holidays: we made the most of the area with mountain walks, white water rafting and a trip to the spa resort. Chatel is a lovely small town which has good restaurants that were recommended by the owner. Highly recommended.

great appartment at fantastic location
The appartment was clean, complete, well located for ski-bus, fresh bread in the morning and ski-area; also closely located to pizza restaurant and easy to drive to the Intermarche. Combined with great views of Chatel and the mountains (and about 3 m of snow) made us really enjoy our holiday.

Great apartment
An immaculate, very well equipped, warm and comfortable apartment with a surprising amount of storage space for two adults and two untidy teenagers! Both the apartment and the communal areas were clean and very well maintained. Having spent a lot of time in French accomodation this one was really thoughtfully equipped ( sharp knives, decent pans, tea pot and mugs). The seating/beds were comfortable with the added bonus of Sky TV for the kids. The information brochure provided before our visit was really welcome and provided us with everything we needed to know about heating/hot water etc. A car is recommended but by no means essential as the bus route runs past the appartment into town and to the ski lifts. All our communications with the owners have been easy and pleasant. We would recommend this property to friends and family.

Return Visit - Summer time biking
After enjoying our stay during the ski season we had no hesitation in booking again for a summertime cycling break. Again the location is superb, close enough to walk to town but far enough away from all the hustle and bustle to really relax. Despite it being quite warm during our stay the apartment remained very cool and comfortable; nothing worse than finding your accommodation turns into a sauna when the sun comes out! However the balcony is a great sun trap and provided the perfect place to switch off after a hard day biking, especially given the fantastic views down the valley. I've happily recommended the apartment to friends given that it is very well equipped, comfortable and represents excellent value for accommodation in a charming alpine village.
10.0 / 10.0
Highly recommended
Very comfortable, clean and well equipped apartment - spacious by French standards i.e. no bunk beds in the hall! Peacefully situated high above Châtel with great views of the village and mountains. This means that a car is really necessary for shopping forays and evening trips into town - unless you still have enough energy for the long uphill walk back. However, the ski bus does stop right outside so could be used for trips to the slopes.
The snow cover was unusually poor during our visit and the local skiing was limited but despite this we were able to enjoy plenty of good skiing from Pres le Joux over to Avoriaz and Switzerland.
The owners information pack provided before the visit was comprehensive and very informative.
Strongly recommend the restaurant Les Cornettes in La Chapelle d'Abondance, the next village a 10 minute drive down the valley. €22 for a quality 4 course meal plus reasonably priced house wine.

Excellent apartment
A very pleasant, modern, clean, well-equipped apartment with fantastic views, yet easily accessible. Everything you could need was provided. Information provided prior to arriving (and provided in the apartment) was very useful and detailed.
We would not hestitate to recommend this apartment to family and friends and would certainly use it again ourselves.
Chatel, a short walk away, is a beautiful place and has everything you could need. The apartment is an excellent base for exploring this area of France/Switzerland.

The perfect alpine getaway...
High up on the valley side the apartment offers spectacular views of the surrounding area. It's only a short walk to town and being off the main roads there are no traffic/noise disturbances. Inside it's well equipped and very comfortable; the shower is powerful with plenty of hot water, sofas & chairs that are perfect for relaxing and beds that make it difficult to drag a bike weary body out of! We had a great time and look forward to returning to try the skiing here next year.
