very much a traditional Alpine village. Ancient
chalets with carved balconies, cobbled streets
and a 17th-century church contribute to the
unique atmosphere, making the village an
appealing location for Alpine holiday homeowners and lifestyle investment buyers.
Situated in the picturesque Abondance Valley,
Châtel is just a stone's throw from the Swiss
border. The resort is a 4-season playground.
Not only does it comprise a part of the Portes
du Soleil ski region, a plethora of summer
activities such as hiking, biking and riding are
all at its doorstep. Châtel has been awarded
Famille Plus Montagne status, putting it
high on the list of family-oriented resorts in
the French Alps. It prides itself on its familyfriendly attitudes and facilities.
Châtel is a prime destination for vacation
homebuyers, and with ever-dwindling space
for new developments, there is huge potential
for Châtel real estate to experience strong
capital appreciation over the coming years.
