Our Retreat is in the beautiful village of Chatel nestled within the valleys of the Porte du Soleil area in the French Alps. It's a picturesque and traditional resort, sporting panoramic views of the infamous Mont Blanc and the Dent du midi. Located in the region of Haute Savoie, and on the French border with Switzerland.
Chatel is the gateway to a marvellous summer playground. The beauty of the mountain terrain in the summertime is breathtaking!
