Location Description

*** Chalet ‘Les Erines’ lies in the picturesque and sunny Abondance Valley on the French/Swiss border in the traditional village of Châtel. It would be difficult to find a chalet closer to the centre of the village, yet ‘Les Erines’ is situated in an enviably quiet location tucked away on the hillside. 
 
It’s an easy walk to the village centre, convenient for the local bars, restaurants and shops. The bus stop is only 50 metres away up a short flight of steps from the chalet. The free bus runs from here every 15 minutes during the winter season and stops at all the lifts and télécabines in the Châtel area. The Super Châtel télécabine is only 250 metres walk away. 
 
Access to the chalet is on foot down a short flight of steps from the road. 
 
Châtel is 1 of 14 resorts in the heart of the Portes du Soleil region. Its close proximity to Thonon and Evian (35km away), between Lac Léman and Mont Blanc makes it a great holiday destination for your winter break. Only 75km from Geneva, Châtel is ideal for those seeking quality away from the big name resorts. 
 
The best adjective to describe Châtel is ‘unspoilt'. It is a charming and traditional Savoyard village which has managed to maintain its alpine architecture and many of its original features. The bustling village centre with its many shops and weekly market selling regional specialities has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Aprés ski mainly revolves around the many colourful bars and good quality restaurants. There are also plenty of other activities available in this delightful village such as bowling, two cinemas and ice-skating. 
 
The Portes du Soleil is the largest area of linked ski resorts in the world with: 
 
650km ski area 
14 resorts across France and Switzerland 
288 marked slopes 
211 lifts 
8 snow parks including Châtel 
11km of snow canons 
 
It's entirely possible to ski/board for a week and not visit the same slope twice. 
 
Quite simply, Châtel is one of the Alps best kept secrets!
