During the summer months the Alps are alive with activities to suit every age and taste. Châtel takes on a totally different air in the summer compared with that of the winter. There is a relaxed vibe to the town with restaurants offering alfresco dining for lunch and dinner and many of the bars have sun terraces that make a great spot to sit for a while and watch the world go by. And more activities than you could ever wish for, from walking to flying to white water rafting.
