Earlier on last week we took some family on a little walk! It turned out to be rather longer than planned however the scenery was breathtaking. Beginning in Chatel we took the chair lifts and a short walk to the Col de Chesery and Lac Vert. This is simply a beautiful spot at an altitude of around 2,000 metres with the Refuge de Chesery on the edge of the lake. From there we walked on to the Col de Portes du Soleil where we stopped for lunch and then along the winter valley back to Morgins via Tovassiere. The final part of the walk took us past Lac Morgins and back into Chatel. A superb walk!

IXS European Downhill Cup - 8th - 10th August 2008

After Scuol in Switzerland and Canazei in Italy, Châtel welcomes the Elite men and women form Europe, as well as amateurs, for the French session of the 2008 IXS mountain biking Downhill Cup.

The event will be organised on the Châtel Scott mountain bike park, exactly on the black run called “Bike Patrol” which has 360 meters difference in level and is approximately 2,5 km long.
4 main moments are expected on the descent of the riders on that black run : they will be directly involved with a rolling departure and big jumps, then the trail is going further on in undergrowth, becoming more technical with roots. Then they will arrive in a stony place ending once more with a more rolling section under the firs. Another way to say that all the criteria are put together for a promising race !!!

Welcome to the Blog for Mountain Air Holidays. The aim of this blog is to keep all our family, friends and past and future guests up to date with what we are up to living here in Chatel and what is going on around the resort and this area of France. We hope you fin the information and stories interesting and informative.
