About this property

Modern apartment in ChĂątel with fantastic views

South facing, two bedroom first floor apartment in Petit ChĂątel (1280 mtr altitude, approx. 2 km from ChĂątel 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 ChĂątel 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 ChĂątel 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.
ChĂątel 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: ChĂątel has a good selection of bars and restaurants and a good aprĂšs ski atmosphere.
Our apartment block is located in a quiet position in the Petit ChĂątel 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 ChĂątel 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 ChĂątel 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.

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.

kleine woning met alles er op en aan

kleine woning maar goed te doen met 5 personen. Mooi uitzicht en dichtbij de bus. Jammer dat er geen bakker in de buurt is. Skigebied is ontzettend mooi met mooi weer. Als het kouder is, veel wind en sneeuw geeft het een ander beeld, omdat er ook geen enkele stoeltjeslift voorzien is van kap

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

Superbes vacances en famille

Appartement conforme Ă  la description (situation, Ă©quipement, propretĂ©), offrant une superbe vue sur la vallĂ©e d'Abondance. L'avantage du logement est sa taille (43mÂČ) un vrai plus pour une famille avec deux enfants comme nous, permettant d'avoir deux chambres sĂ©parĂ©es. La propriĂ©tĂ© est calme et reposante. Le chalet est trĂšs bien situĂ©, avec un arrĂȘt de bus se trouvant devant, idĂ©al pour aller dans le centre de Chatel, ou se rendre aux remontĂ©es de ski sans prendre sa voiture. Le tĂ©lĂ©siĂšge de Barbossine, ainsi que des loueurs de matĂ©riels se trouvent Ă  500m.

Heerlijke bedden en fijn appartement

Het appartement ligt boven in Chatel. Je kunt met de skibus naar de piste, maar ook goed met de auto. Het uitzicht is prachtig en je hebt (eind februari) zon op het terras van 11.00 uur tot 16.30 uur. De bedden zijn heel erg lekker! Er is verder een zeer comfortabele bank en 2 luie stoelen. Wij hebben zelf de tafel uitgeklapt laten staan, wat ook prima paste! Het is een heerlijk appartement voor 4 a 5 personen. Koffie zetten, kan met gewone koffie in een piston apparaat, waterkoker, magnetron en de oven (zelf afbakbroodjes meenemen, dan hoef je niet de berg af om naar de bakker te gaan). Mooi compleet appartement. Een aanrader.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Chris & Jan Paul

Host profile image
My wife and I are retired and live in Horsham, West Sussex, UK. We rent out our apartment in ChĂątel when we, or our family, are not using it.

Why they chose this property

We think ChĂątel is one of the most beautiful villages in the French Alps, unspoilt, no ugly buildings, fabulous location, and is very well maintained by the local council, thereby retaining it's alpine charm. It is also superbly located for touring in the French Alps, western Switzerland and northern Italy.

In winter the Portes du Soleil is probably one of the best ski locations in Europe, with so many runs for all abilities. We always try to find new runs that we haven't skied before.

In summer there is nothing better than sitting in the warm sunshine on the balcony eating breakfast, lunch or dinner, taking in the fabulous view over Chatel and the Abondance valley.

What makes this property unique

The property is maintained to a very high standard. Money earned from renting is used to update furnishings regularly, regular replacement of quits, mattress covers and pillows, as well as contributing towards the annual running costs.

We now employ a local property manager who:
- regularly inspects the apartment to ensure the high standard is maintained
- can switch heating on before your arrival
- provides a local point of contact
- as well as linen and cleaning services, if required.
