Surrounded by beautiful hiking trails

Because of the convenient location of Oasis Les Portes du Soleil, you take a step out of your luxurious apartment which is directly at the chairlift. These lifts take you to Petit Châtel, where you can go higher up the mountain. There you can enjoy a lovely walk at altitude. We challenge you to leave the chairlift for what it is and do the hike yourself. The diversity of the area of Châtel makes it very attractive for hiking. From green mountainside to snow, farms and chalets. A typical French view!
