Security

Enjoying the mountains in winter means, above all, experiencing a magnificent environment, but one that requires a few precautions to ensure a pleasant and safe holiday. 😊

🎿 On the ski slopes

  1. Always adapt your speed to your skill level and the track conditions.
  2. Respect other skiers and priority rules.
  3. Check your equipment before you leave: skis, boots, bindings and helmet.
  4. Wearing a helmet is strongly recommended for both children and adults. 🪖
  5. Check the weather and trail openings before you leave. 🌨️
  6. Remember to take regular breaks and stay well hydrated. 💧

🥾 During snowshoeing outings

  1. Stay on marked routes that are suitable for your level.
  2. Equip yourself with waterproof shoes and warm clothing suitable for the mountains.
  3. Bring water, a snack, and a charged phone. 📱
  4. In case of fresh snow or bad weather conditions, check before you leave.
  5. The mountains in winter can be demanding: it's best to plan a reasonable route and leave early in the day.

🌨️ In winter, conditions can change rapidly in the mountains. Caution, preparation, and appropriate equipment are key to fully enjoying the magnificent snow-covered landscapes of Châtel and the Abondance Valley.

😊 Our team at the Le Gîte holiday village in Châtel remains at your disposal to advise you on routes, snow conditions and activities adapted to your stay.
