During the summer months the Alps are alive with activities to suit every age and taste. Chatel 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.

Along side the mountain biking, Chatel is full of activities ranging between the relaxing and the exhilarating.

From short strolls around Lac De Vonnes to strenuous hikes to the summits of some of the local peaks the area is full of trails to appeal to all types of walkers. For the adrenalin seekers the Fantasticable is unmissable. A zip wire which sends you flying across the valley at a maximum of 240m above the ground at almost 100km per hour.

Due to the high levels of snow fall in the winter months from the spring onwards the River Dranse becomes the perfect place to try white water rafting or you can enjoy some more sedate water sport at Chatel’s outdoor swimming pool. With a large pool set in lanes, a children’s pool and a toddlers’ pool there is something for everyone.

By venturing a little further out of town you will find a variety of places to visit that will give your holiday that added variety.

We can offer 2 different packages in the summer, you can either book the whole chalet on a self catering basis, with a large private garden perfect for barbeques you may decide to cook ‘al fresco’ some nights and we are happy to come in and cater for you on others and give the cook in your group the night off! Alternatively you may go for one of our mountain bike packages which really help you make the best of your stay.
