What do in Chatel?

Unique in the Alps, the Fantasticable is a giant zip line that will transport you in the air 140 or 240 m high depending on the route chosen. The descent is made at nearly 100 km / h from the Rochassons chairlift. In winter, everything is planned so that skiers can enjoy this minute of extreme adrenaline since they will leave their equipment at the start of the journey and collect it at the end, the skis following a great parallel path.

If you are always looking for new winter sports experiences, Electric Snow Mountain Biking should be your thing. In groups of 2 to 6 people, you will be able to pedal on the ski slopes of Super Chatel in the morning or Pre la Joux / Plaine Dranse at the end of the day. The outings are supervised by a state-certified instructor and adapted to the level of the participants. The equipment (mountain bike, helmet lighting) is provided.

Isn't a day on the skis enough to drain the excess of energy from your toddlers? We have the solution: take them to the L'Aventure indoor playground. Warm and sheltered from the elements, your darlings will be able to launch themselves down giant slides, slide down slopes on a sled or throw themselves headfirst into the ball pools. The park is open throughout the ski season and welcomes children from 2 to 12 years old, accompanied by adults.

Do you want to learn more about the Chatel village resort while offering your children a welcoming distraction? Embark on the little yellow and red train. It will take you on a journey to the heart of this land of art and history in the Abondance Valley, discovering every nook and cranny of the village and admiring the panorama while enjoying a guided tour. The little train crisscrosses the streets of Chatel throughout the winter season with departures at 10 am, 11 am, 12 pm, 2 pm and 3 pm.

It proudly sits in the heart of the village, bringing a slight air of a funfair to the resort, impossible to miss. This is of course the Carrousel de Chatel! Open during the All Saints holidays and then throughout the ski season, it will delight both children and parents, who can enjoy tasty waffles or pancakes while waiting for the end of the merry-go-round.

From December to April, the Piou Piou Club - Village des Marmottons welcomes children from 3 to 6 years old to discover skiing through games and workshops. The Piou Piou Club also offers a welcoming chalet with games room, relaxation area, cloakroom, bathrooms and dining area.

What if you offered a bubble of well-being to your children? Children from 6 to 12 years old will be pampered like royalty with fruity flavoured products, labelled Bio Ecocert and particularly suitable for the youngest's skin, whether for the face, body, or both. Gentle cleaning and massage are performed in the presence of one of the parents. Allow between 30 minutes for a face or body treatment and 60 minutes for both.

If there's one thing you probably haven't done before, it's a snow groomer excursion! Two departures per day are organized: at 6.30 am for the morning rotation, with the possibility of making the first track with the tracker, and at 6.30 pm for the evening one. Access is available to everyone from the age of 5. This unusual activity takes place on two circuits: from Pre la Joux to the top of Rochassons then back and from the Super-Chatel gondola to the top of Morclan or from Chalet Neuf then return.

From early February to early March on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 2 pm to 3 pm, Chatel rings its bells. Different types of bells will rock you with their sweet melody, the fruit of an ancestral mountain tradition. This event takes place in the church square, next to the musical sculpture Ars Sonora Frontiere which will, of course, be part of the show. It will jingle cheerfully in Chatel!

Each year at the end of February, the village of Chatel hosts its classical music festival. Internationally renowned artists take turns for three days punctuated by concerts and meetings.

The scene takes place in Chatel in the early 20th century. You have just been recruited as a customs officer, and you are informed that a chalet has been used to hide a group of legendary smugglers. The men could never be stopped, and on your way there, you discover that the chalet has been deserted. Only a sealed safe is still there. What's in it? You have an hour to find out with the help of your mates—activity accessible only by reservation, in groups of 2 to 6 people.
