Axel Tourreau
A family-friendly resort on a human scale, lacking après-ski atmosphere, with an often poorly managed influx of people, but the free parking outside the resort centre is a plus.
Large ski area, great slopes for all levels
Not much après-ski
Sheldon Parmentier
Excellent resort, I recommend it
Large estate for a low price
Not enough end-of-package signage for Chatel
Romain Riss
A fantastic resort for all ages, and as an added bonus, it's linked to the Portes du Soleil ski area, allowing you to ski in Switzerland, Avoriaz, the Gers region, and Morzine as well. Several activities are available, including the Fantasticalble zip line, an outdoor pool and spa, and walks around Lake Vonnes. The ski area caters to all types of skiers.
Ski area linked to the Portes du Soleil, free shuttles, several parking lots, modern and high-quality lifts, top-notch ESF ski school
Not many shops for people who don't ski.

Portes-du-Soleil grossartiges Skigebiet en France et Suisse.
Well-groomed slopes, sunny at altitude, especially Super Châtel
The exit to Torgon is closed due to insufficient snow.
Celine PROTAT
A pleasant, charming, family-friendly resort, well worth discovering, but best suited to beginner to intermediate skiers. There are a few interesting black runs for experts. When the snow is fresh, the terrain is enjoyable and safe. Happy skiing everyone!
A typical, pleasant village with everything you need (shops, doctor's surgery, après-ski atmosphere, etc.). The ski area is accessible for all levels, but experts should head to the Avoriaz ski area. The ski lifts are
Slow ski lifts (T-bar lifts) in certain areas
CHRISTOPHE KROGMANN
Chatel, my "home away from home" at heart...
The slopes are amazing!!!
Road infrastructure that has not evolved since 1960
Nicolas MONESI
An excellent family resort that has managed to retain its Savoyard style with its chalets clinging to the mountainside. The resort is touristy, but it doesn't feel at all like a "tourist factory".
Huge ski area
Center authorized for vehicles
Laurent Cocu
A really beautiful resort with great places to eat for lunch and après-ski; the center of Châtel is fantastic.
Beautiful groomed runs and lovely off-piste terrain
Complicated for beginners
Isabelle PERON
A ski area where good skiers have fun. Beginners must choose between watching others enjoy themselves or taking the plunge and taking risks. There are only two very short green runs where boredom sets in quickly. The other runs advertised as green are actually the "ends" of blue runs; their short length doesn't make them any less difficult. The staff is aware of the inconvenience and attentive.

Resort not suitable for beginner skiers
HERVÉ UHLEN
Excellent family resort with the possibility of taking advantage of the Portes du Soleil extension...
