Where is chatel france

In winter, some bus services run direct from Geneva to the ski resort. It avoids a sometimes convoluted public transport journey to the ski resort. A private transfer can be particularly cost effective for groups of 3 or more people. Indeed, it is one of the more pleasant ski resort villages in the entire French Alps.

Usually for everyone but beginner skiers the full pass is most suitable because it offers a huge amount of extra skiing for a small extra cost.

The main area is a natural bowl area which is popular with beginner skiers because there are several slow and short button lifts on gentle slopes, allowing for gradual confidence building. Venturing further afield out of the bowl you'll find more challenging reds and a few blues, and most of the lifts are drag lifts so not somewhere a beginner snowboarder may enjoy.

Rarely as busy as the main area, therefore often worth spending a day exploring the quiet slopes which often give views all the way down to Lake Geneva. Especially on very busy days or on powder days when the tree lined runs help with visability. Most lifts have several variations of pistes to descend allowing interesting varied skiing without have to travel too far.

Plus for the adventurous types the off-piste skiing is amazing, and again all served by express lifts.
