La Chapelle at 1010m-2432m is the French starting point of the Portes du Soleil. This huge ski domain boasts 650km of alpine ski pistes in 14 French and Swiss resorts, including Chatel, Avoriaz, Morzine and Les Gets. These resorts are each diverse in style and age as they are in ski terrain.

'Le Duplex' is opposite La Chapelle's own attractive, gladed ski area, - 'Cret Beni'. This ski area has 8 lifts serving over 10 pistes. The pistes are manly blue and green, so great for beginners and children. The ESF ski school is located at the bottom of the slopes. There are two slope side restaurants but if you preferred to lunch at home, it is only a 5 minute walk back to'le Duplex'.

La Chapelle's telecabine takes you up to ski-lifts linking you to the Portes du Soleil through Torgon and Morgins in Switzerland, and Super-Chatel.

Your hosts will provide a drop off and pick up service to the lifts at Super-chatel, Linga or pre-la-Joux. There is also a free bus service from outside 'le Duplex' which will take you to Chatel's Linga or Pre-la-Joux lifts in just 15 minutes.
