Hi all
If anyone's looking for self catered accommodation in
Chatel, Portes Du Soleil, France, for a summer alpine trip, the following apartment is available for rental by the day, weekend or week (subject to availability):
Les Seilles, apartment in Chatel, sleeps 6, 50m from Super Chatel lift and town centre (pls click for more details and photos)Will sort out a special Essexherts MTB rental rate if anyone's interested.
For those not in the know, as well as having its own bike park (
Bikepark), you can easily get over from Chatel to the trails in Avoriaz, Morzine, Les Gets, Morgins, Les Crosets and Champery.
Chatel itself is a pretty mountain village with the nice restaurants, a few good bars (Le Tunnel in particular), supermarkets, outdoor swimming pool etc. plus there's plenty of family day out options e.g. Lavey Les Bains; Montreux; Yvoire; Annecy; white water rafting.
Travel time from Geneva airport is under 1.5 hours (autoroute around the north side of Lac Lehman) which makes a 2-3 long weekend trip very doable. There are loads of car hire firms at the airport or you can take a train direct from the airport to Aigle then get a transfer up the mountain with these guys -

PM if you would like any more info.
