Its all been happening in Chatel over the last few weeks - a superb weekend for the VTT Passportes du Soleil where once again thousands of riders took part in one the best annual mountain bike events in Europe. 75km of downhill and single track around the whole of the Portes du Soleil.

The Tour de France arrived in Avoriaz, not the best day for Lance but a great day for us as we were able to get to and from the stage finish in Avoriaz using the chair lifts after Chatel agreed to keep them all open until 8pm, memorable day!

Bastille day was again celebrated with a huge fireworks display around Lac Vonnes

TREK have been in Chatel for the last month launching their 2011 range of Mountain Bikes to the worlds press and dealers, I even met the man himself Gary Fisher who designed and branded the first ever “Mountain Bike”

Whilst all that has been going on the temperature in Chatel has not dropped below 30 degrees for around 3 weeks and more warm sunny weather forecast.

A busy and hot summer so far which has been great fun for us and our guests, and with many winter weeks already booked, I cant deny I am also looking forward to the winter season!
