Excellent chalet - well kitted out, clean, and comfortable
We had a great stay and would happily recommend to anyone.
The chalet is well kept and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay.
Good communication from the owner and check in and out quick and easy.
Views from chalet are great and location is quiet but easy to access, with a short 15 minute walk to the town center (or just a couple of minutes to the bus stop)
Path up to chalet is a little steep - fine when no snow on path, but after fresh snow more of a challenge.
Plenty of room. Everything we needed to self cater. Clean and comfortable. We were glad that inter sports allowed us to leave our skies and boots with them each day as it was a bit of a walk uphill to get back each day. Fabulous views over the village and across the mountains. Great value.

Pleasant resort -
The chalet is very pleasant - not fancy but has everything you need to have a lovely stay. Beds are comfortable, lounge is spacious and plenty of seating. Kitchen small but perfect for a weeks self catering. 20 min walk into Chatel, unfortunately the free ski bus does stop running early so don't rely on that to get back to Petit after a meal out but the walk is not too bad.
We had trouble the first day getting our hire car up the final bit (too much snow/ice in one small area) to the garage so had to leave it at the bottom of the slope. Next day (after a little sun) no problem getting the car up to the Garage. The garage was great - we left our skis there over night so saved us carrying up the final path. The walk from the lift is ok - but probably difficult if you've got young kids who don't carry their own stuff but with teenagers it was fine. We skied down to the lift every morning (bar one when we went to Pre de Joux). Chatel is a nice resort but does have a lot of drag/button lifts which do have queues in half term but access to Switzerland is easy and some lovely runs on that side. Hired skis from Intersport at the bottom of the lift - They let us leave our shoes there on the last day so really easy to return and walk back up to the Chalet.
Good access from Geneva, it did take us near 2 hours to get to Chatel due to traffic on the A1/A9 along the north side of the lake, but access up to the mountains was really easy and quick, no long queues and the journey back was around 1.30 hrs. However, car rental from the French Side was a little confusing to return so that did add an extra 10 minutes to the journey (a note if you do hire from French side there is a Shell garage that is substantially cheaper than the airport pumps that you drive past to get to the French side so fill up your hire car there!).
A nice chalet, in a convenient location.
Nous avons passé de super moments au chalet idéalement situé, la vue depuis la terrasse est magnifique, l’endroit est très calme.Nous avons pu profiter des chemins de randonnées et d’un accès facile au village. ( il y a une navette gratuite qui facilite la remontée au chalet)Le garage est très pratique pour entreposer les vélos et le porte vélo.Gros point négatif pour nous, la literie qui n’est pas terrible, nous n’avons pas trés bien dormi.Certains éléments de la cuisine ( hotte, lave-vaisselle) mériteraient d’être remplacés, la salle de bain a besoin également d’un rafraîchissement mais tout reste fonctionnel.
Nous avons apprécié l'ensemble de ce chalet. Le chalet en lui-même, la proximité des pistes de skis, des villages, comme des magasins. Chalet agréable et tranquille.
Fantastische Aussicht auf die umliegenden Berge und den Ort!Wir waren für ein paar Tage zu Gast in diesem hübschen Haus und haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt!Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Das Haus war auf keinen Fall was es in der Beschreibung verspricht. Es war kein Grill vorhanden, obwohl beschrieben.Der komplette Essbereich war dermaßen schmutzig und alles schmierig Wir haben alles was wir benutzt haben dreimal abgewaschen. Zimmer schmutzig, sogar Schimmel in Schlafzimmer und Bad. Nicht weiter zu Empfehlen ( in dem Zustand).Mit freundlichen GrüßenRainer Jager
Chalet difficile d'accès et dont les équipements sont vieux et inadaptés au nombre de couchage.
Télévision qui ne fonctionne pas; radiateurs très anciens et en mauvais état; salle de bain équipée d'un vieux lavabo colonne et d'un petit miroir en mauvais état; le sèche cheveux était introuvable ou inexistant; dans la cuisine: réfrigérateur inadapté à la capacité d'hébergement- hotte sale et rouillée; carrelage fendu sur plusieurs m dans la salle; canapé élimé à la couleur passée; petites chambres avec des lits disparates ...
Le logement correspondait exactement à la description.Séjour très agréable.

Mooi vakantiehuis met prachtige ligging. Alles aanwezig in keuken. Heeft jammer genoeg geen skilocker onder chalet dat beschikbaar was maar stond wel ala zodanig vermeld in advertentie. Maar voor de rest alles prima.
Très bon séjour
Très belle vue et au calme
Bon spot pour de belles randonnées sur le domaine des portes du soleil

Bonnes vacances à Châtel
Chalet très confortable (sauf literie grinçante). Avec une belle vue sur les montagnes. Alors oui l'arrivée est sportive avec ce beau dénivelé à pied pour atteindre le chalet, mais c'est la montagne.. je n'ai juste pas aimé cette déshumanisation de l'accueil et du départ.. jamais vu ni entendu quelqu'un, ni avant, ni pendant le séjour. Dommage.
