Châtel

Unlike most resorts linked to major ski areas, Châtel remains relatively unspoiled and retains a very French feel, with a life outside tourism (there are still around 30 working farms). It is also right…

Courchevel’s ski area is the most compelling sector of the famous Trois Vallées, the biggest linked ski area in the world; if we’re heading for the 3V, we generally head for Courchevel. But it’s…
