So, Where will you be Skiing this Spring? - Chatel, France
So far, this season has bought everything you would expect from a Ski Resort, Cold temperatures (as low as -40) and lots of snow. And with Spring now just around the corner, what we tend to hear a lot of is 'from here on in - it's all about Altitude!'
Well... you couldn't be more wrong!
This week we've been enjoying the balmy temperatures of -10 (yes MINUS 10) in Resort, and even colder up the Mountain, We've got more than 20cms of new Snow arriving in the coming few days and the cold is set to continue til AT LEAST the end of March.
Chatel is at the perfect altitude - high enough to get some of the best snowfall in the alps, but low enough to stop wind exposure some if the higher resorts suffer from, plus with over 650km of pistes and practically unlimited off-piste, it's the perfect time to remind you that Spring skiing is not always about the Highest resort.
So, Where will you be Skiing this Spring?

Ste Foy one of the best ski areas in the world... - Sainte Foy, France
Thanks to its superb powder, the profile of this secluded resort is rising, but it shuns the crowds and turns its back on consumerist booty. It feels timeless and tranquil, with no hotels, high-rises or high-octane nightlife. In its place are bijou apartments, several rustic-style spa residences and, above all, beguiling chalets. Think: cowbells, pitched slate roofs and piping hot woodstoves.
Ah, the skiing: as well as 32km of pistes, served by 7 lifts, the resort is an off-piste paradise, where powder lasts for days thanks to the north-facing slopes. Serious skiers lap up the off-piste run to the pretty hamlet of Le Monal or tackle the Foglietta, a steep vertical descent of 1700 metres. Black runs are rarely groomed, or groomed only for moguls. Given the back country’s popularity with Alpha-males, the smug B-team can then luxuriate in the emptiness of the pistes, with sweeping green runs through the trees.
The resort itself feels ravishingly aloof but for any mileage merchants in your party it is within easy reach of Val d’Isere, Les Arcs and La Rosière/La Thuile. If exhilarating descents weren’t enough, the hard-core set can opt for heli-skiing just over the Italian border, where skiers are rewarded with a view of both the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc – before the superb skiing back to France.
Sainte Foy offers the most convivial dining in the Tarantaise. Peckish skiers meet at Les Brevettes, a barn-like inn on the slopes, where the pistes converge. Warmed by a wood-fired stove, tuck into a traditional Savoyard lunch of raclette and fondue at La Maison a Colonnes. Sunbathe on the terrace or get snug in the wood-and-stone interior, decorated with defunct skis and kitsch cowbells.

What Chatel and the PDS can do for you.... - Chatel, France
Laid out between 1000m and 2466m over 400km2, is an area of the Northern Alps that catches some VERY heavy snowfall on a regular basis. What makes it particularly worthy of your attention is that this deep powder nature reserve is all unlocked with a single liftpass!
'The Gateway to the sun'
This literal translation for 'Les Portes du Soleil' is the Franco-Swiss area which falls between Lake Geneva, in Switzerland, and Mont Blanc, in France. It is home to 12 resorts, most Importantly CHATEL and 650km of slopes, making up arguably the largest ski area in the world.
Back in the 1960s, spearheaded by ski racing legend Jean Vuarnet decided to create the cross-border ski area. Today, their efforts mean that you can explore the 650km of high altitude piste, linking 14 villages on either side of the French-Swiss border, all with one, reasonably priced liftpass.
The immensity of the Portes du Soleil (PDS) – a succession of valleys in a wild nature reserve – makes it a haven for skiers. If you want to ski new runs every day for a fortnight; or if you want to switch from freestyle park fun to big mountain backcountry exploration – then this is the place for you.
Village-wise, PDS has a bit for everything, from the purpose-built, functional Avoriaz to the postcard-perfect Village of CHATEL. The 12 resorts making up the area: Avoriaz, Châtel, Les Gets, Morzine, Abondance, Chapelle d'Abondance, St Jean d'Aulps & Montriond on the French side; on the Swiss side lie Champéry, Champoussin, Les Crosets, Morgins, Torgon & Val d'Illiez. With CHATEL in Heart of this Hive of activity, Where will you Ski to tomorrow?
