OVO Network specialises in beautiful, hand-picked high-end properties for unique stays in the French Alps. Chalet Lula is an OVO Network property. The OVO Network team’s opinion - Chalet Lula is a contemporary, semi-detached chalet for 8, with spacious accommodations set over three floors. With four bedrooms, each with their own bath or shower room, it's a great choice for a group of friends or two families. Three of the rooms can be arranged with kingsize or twin beds, for flexible sleeping arrangements. Two of the bedrooms also have doors to the balcony. We love the top-floor living area, which is so full of light and enjoys great views. Whatever season you visit, you'll love relaxing on the balcony, perhaps with a drink before dinner or even enjoying a barbecue together. Although the living area is open-plan, the different areas are clearly defined - the comfortable seating area, the dining area with doors to the balcony and the sleek, modern kitchen with a cooking island and breakfast bar, so that whoever is cooking is still part of the conversation. Chalet Lula is just a short walk from the centre of the Portes du Soleil ski village of Châtel, with its lifts, shops, bars and restaurants. Outside the ski season, there's plenty to do, with great walking and biking trails, watersports on the Dranse river and swimming in the Lac de Vonnes. Groups of up to 18 (16 Adults max) might like to consider booking Chalet Lula with Chalet Amarou, next door, which sleeps 6. It's a great solution for families who want to ski and socialise together, but don't necessarily want to spend all their time with each other! Free wifi, cleaning, towels & linen included.

Châtel is one of the main resorts in the huge Portes du Soleil area, and offers great access to Avoriaz, Torgon and Morgins. Situated at the end of the beautiful Abondance Valley, its altitude and location between the Alps and Lake Geneva means it enjoys a great snow record. There's a snowpark, boarder cross course and great terrain for beginners at Super-Châtel, but also plenty to test intermediates and experts in the Linga/Pre-la-Joux sector and further afield on the Swiss side of the border. Cross-country skiers will find 49km of trails around Châtel. In the summer, the resort attracts road cyclists drawn to the Tour de France routes. The Châtel bike park offers 20 downhill tracks, and there are plenty of bike shops and hire points in the village. Walkers and trail runners can explore 48 circuits and 400km of paths. Families looking for child-friendly walks will appreciate the footpath around the lake, and the link to the lake at Morgins, on the Swiss side of the border. There is plenty going on at Lac de Vonnes, with fishing, paddle boarding, discovery trails and a great playground. Châtel has been awarded the Famille Plus label, so you can be sure that children will always be well catered for, with a full programme of activities in summer and winter. Older children will love the Fantasticable - an adrenalin-filled flight on two zip wires, which will see you flying over the hamlet of Plagne-Dranse at almost 100kmph! Other adventurous options include paragliding, rock-climbing, via ferrata, whitewater rafting and kayaking. There's no time to be bored!
