A lovely property spotlessly clean with everything you could ask for to make your stay go smoothly. A beautiful view from the balcony. A garage to store your mtb bikes & keep them secure. Would definitely stay there again. Andy & Mikki

Its been 35 years since I skied in Chatel, its got bigger!!! The chalet is located 5-6 miles from the main ski school area of Pre La Joux. It takes about 10 mins in the car. Parking is easy if you arrive early at Pre La Joux say 08:15am, time to relax have a coffee put the boots on and get the kids into Ski School. There is an Inter Mache supermarket near the chalet, with cheap petrol and everything you will need. Be aware supermarkets didn't seem to open on Sunday and nothing after 7pm, so dont arrive late and expect to buy food. Parking in Chatel is scarce, so we went the other way into La Chapple and found lovely restaurants. So back to the Chalet, as the title says it was great. It was clean, and all the items that make a stay easier were present. Would I recommend Chalet Dow...yes, the hosts Rebecca and Sam gave very helpful advice, which we took. (such as the ski rental at Vertical Horizons, James was very helpful). Our family was very comfortable at Chalet Dow. Many Thanks

Everything we needed to enjoy a week away as a family, skiing area was a short drive away, the house had a great social space and a really relaxed feel. Communication with the host was friendly and helpful, highly recommend.

Convenient location with all the necessary facilities, without the ludicrous expense of ski in ski out. We come back year after year.

Perfectly situated between Chapelle d'Abondance and Chatel. Nice cosy chalet with a very extensive inventory. The double bed room in the cellar is perfect for a 2nd couple because it has its own privacy and bathroom. Very clean.

Great accommodation for family skiing week - more than enough room for 4 of us to spread out and everything we needed for cosy evenings and cooking. Beautiful mountain views, very picturesque. There is a ski bus service but you need 2 linked buses or a bit of a walk - we found the best option was to drive to le Linga or Pre la Joux (free parking) or for the Super Châtel lift in the centre just drive the few hundred metres to the sports centre bus stop and leave the car there all day. Nice & close to Intermarché for food and Chapelle-d’Abondance has plenty of restaurants as well as Châtel.

A perfect holiday. The chalet was amazing - comfortable, great location and fabulous views. It had everything we needed. We had a great 2 weeks and it made up for missing the last 2 years due to Covid. Sam & Rebecca are super hosts. Thank you so much and looking forward to returning.

The chalet is lovely, exactly as advertised. Very comfortable for a family of 5, plus dog! We booked it to be in an area close to family and friends and I’m sure will do so again in future - thank you!
