Biking in Châtel

Mountain biking in Chatel for a long time has been the hidden secret of the Portes Du Soleil

The little known alpine village of Chatel is fast becoming the mecca for all types of biking in the alps. Centrally located in the very centre of the Portes du Soleil.

With over 650km of waymarked trails on its doorstep there’s a whole host of singletrack and trails to discover, as well as our vast amount of local knowledge to take you off the beaten track and further afield!

The Chatel Mountain Bike park is a special area dedicated to mountain biking fanatics, located at Pré-la-Joux/ Plaine Dranse.

Reached by Pierre-Longue and/or Rochassons chairlifts, it offers 17 mountain biking trails at all difficulty levels (3 green, 4 blue, 2 red and 6 black) 16 of which are downhill runs.

Châtel is also a mountain bike friendly commune with a dedicated Bike Park team who continually improve and more importantly maintain the marked trails on a daily basis. With a number of new additions for 2009 including the Haute Tension, a must for the very compitent rider! and the new top section of the people, a great new mellow blue decent.

But don’t just take our word for it. See what Ben Walker and Bike Magazine had to say below. Oh and don’t miss the bit on the Fantasticable – we can arrange this for you too!!
