It is about 5 minutes walk from the Barbossine area where you will find a ski lift and free bus service, local baker, newsagent, launderette, hotels and ski hire. The flat is fully equipped, with cellar for ski equipment and parking at the entrance to the building. It is about 15 minutes walk downhill to the village centre where there are excellent restaurants and bars. Chatel is a friendly place.

Owner profile
About the owner
We live in Chichester but hail originally from Dundee. We have four adult children and five grandchildren. We have skied for over twenty years, almost always in Chatel. We enjoy summer in Chatel too, spending as much time as possible there.
Year purchased: 2004
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We had been skiing twice a year in Chatel for fifteen years and had deliberated long enough about buying. We decided to take the plunge and have not regretted it. Summer is wonderful too. We like it as much as the ski season.
Unique benefits of the property
The flat is easily managed, small but cosy and we keep it well equipped. The area of Petit Chatel is sunny and bright all day long. There are essential shops close by and the village is not too far.
