    Snow, sunshine and a fantastic atmosphere are on the agenda for March and April

    Change your minde, spring skiing isn't just synonymous with slushy snow or the end of the season! In Châtel, the slopes usually close around 19-21 April. Along with Avoriaz, these are the two Portes du Soleil resorts that close the latest, keeping the Chaux-Fleuries ski lift link open for as long as possible (depending on weather conditions).

    In March, conditions are still ideal for day skiing, touring the Portes du Soleil and enjoying the magnificent Alpine scenery with your partner. In mid-March, the unmissable Rock The Pistes also kicks off the festival season with five days of concerts on the slopes.

    In Châtel, the talk is all about skiing, sunshine and a crazy atmosphere! The days are getting longer, the temperatures are becoming more pleasant and après-ski breaks are becoming an institution. When it comes to accommodation, Châtel Réservation offers even more attractive rates than in January, so you can get away for two without breaking the bank, or plan several short breaks in the mountains.
