What to do in Châtel – Haute-Savoie – France?
Haute-Savoie offers a vast area ideal for holidays with family or friends. It is in the heart of the Portes du Soleil that I invite you to discover the town of Châtel. The village has kept its traditional appearance thanks to its mountain architecture and its many natural sites. In winter, the snow makes its appearance and offers many activities both outdoors and indoors. I make you discover how to stay busy throughout your stay whether you are a sportsman or a relaxation lover.
The glide
Impossible to spend a stay during winter sports without experimenting with the many sports to be done on snow. The first activity concerns skiing and if simply sliding along the slopes does not interest you, I advise you to try heliskiing. As its name suggests, you will board a helicopter that will take you to the highest peaks. Thrill seekers, brace yourself, because the descent offers an incomparable adrenaline rush.
You could also enjoy all the activities around skiing such as Nordic skiing which requires good endurance. However, you will have plenty of time to discover the snow-covered forests. Many ski schools also offer something to delight people with disabilities thanks to handiskiing.
If pole planting has no more secrets for you, I recommend the practice of freeriding, sledding or even night skiing. Many tracks are equipped to accommodate impressively large toboggans that can accommodate up to 10 people, hence its name snake. At nightfall, you will discover the nocturnal descents by candlelight, which offers a memorable spectacle. For those who want to find a ski holiday at an interesting price, I advise you to look on the Interhome site which offers many ski holidays in French ski areas.
Relaxation
After a few hours of slides of all kinds, find calm and serenity by tasting the many dishes that have made the success of the Châtel region. From the traditional tartiflette to the Savoyard fondue, you will appreciate the comforting diots in white wine or the gourmet rissoles. The generous dishes restore strength and the warmth of a good wood fire brings a relaxed and generative atmosphere.
If you feel like it, you can also practice many indoor sports. There are many fitness rooms that allow you to let off steam if the weather is not conducive to outdoor activities.
As for body treatments, I encourage you to try out the many massage rooms that promise relaxation and regeneration. Alone or as a couple, enjoy a magical moment with a view of the snow-capped peaks. Some establishments offer the luxury of a spa in a magical setting. What a pleasure to feel your body warming up in high temperature water to relax.
The original activities
Take advantage of your holidays to try out activities that are out of the ordinary. So, I advise you to try the Fantasticable. Securely harnessed, you will hurtle down the mountain in a lying position. Reaching 100 km/h, the zip line will not leave you indifferent.
Let yourself be tempted by a fun ride aboard an electric bike. You will be supervised by an instructor who will accompany you on secure paths. Getaways take place day and night and allow you to discover the estate from a different perspective. There are other activity ideas on the Châtel Tourist Office website, don't hesitate to take a look!
To end your family stay, take on the role of an investigator in a typical chalet in the region to solve an escape game in cooperation. If you want to relax between 2 snowboard runs, enjoy a piece of blueberry pie while watching your children in the indoor playground set up in the village.
