Winter informationChalet La Ferme du Chateau is located in the heart of the extensive ski region of Portes du Soleil, convenient for the French alpine resorts of Avoriaz, Morzine and les Gets, and the Swiss resorts of Morgins, Torgon, Champery and Les Crosets.
In total there are over 400 miles (650 km) of ski slopes, well served by 194 ski lifts, all accessible using a single ski pass. The area also has an excellent snow record due to its location between Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva this creates an environment which means the region tends to get significant snowfall from the start of December through the end of April.
La Ferme du Chateau is situated in the charming village of La Chapelle d’Abondance. The local ski area in La Chapelle is split into two areas, Cret Beni and La Chapelle / Chatel ski area (which is the link to the rest of the Portes du Soleil).
Cret Beni is just behind the farmhouse and you can ski directly to it. It offers a fun day’s skiing for good skiers and plenty for the novice for the whole week and also makes a change from the larger resorts which get exceptionally busy in peak weeks.
The La Chapelle / Chatel ski domaine offers 58 ski lifts covering 80 miles (130 km) of superb ski slopes suitable for all levels of skier.
Once you connect into the rest of the Portes du Soleil then the variety of slopes, both on and off piste, are fantastic including the infamous Swiss Wall, the Coupe du Monde ladies downhill in Avoriaz and the ‘circuit’ which is a days skiing and covers the whole of the region and can be achieved on runs no more difficult than blue runs if necessary.
