The 07/08 winter season has come to an end. The snow arrived early this year giving our festive guests a very white Christmas and excellent skiing conditions. Our last guests out 17th April enjoyed as good conditions as we'd had all season making it one of the best we can remember.

For Summer 08 there is the Passportes mountain bike event at the end of June. Friday 4th to Sunday 6th July sees the Chatel Mountain Style contest mixing Freeride and Slopestyle in the same run. The IXS European Downhill Cup is hosted here in Chatel on 9th & 10th August.

Booking for the Winter 08/09 season is advised now! Given the excellent snow we enjoyed last season many weeks if not already booked have bookings pending so if you want your usual week please get in touch now to avoid disappointment
