This authentic mountain village is situated in the centre of Portes du Soleil. The cosy, old centre of Châtel gives direct access to the slopes. There are two skiing areas: Super Châtel and Linga. Since 2015, these two ski areas are connected through the new chairlift and some blue slopes. Châtel is directly connected with Les Portes du Soleil via Avoriaz, Torgon and Morgins.
