OVO Network specialises in beautiful, hand-picked luxury properties for unique stays in the French Alps. Chalet Ruisselet is an OVO Network property. It is a three-storey chalet sleeping 12 guests in six bedrooms, with three bathrooms. The OVO Network team’s opinion - Situated in the Lac de Vonnes area of Châtel, you're a 1km walk from the main village, but the chairlift and ski bus nearby mean you can manage without your car, should you wish to. There's also a selection of restaurants around the lake, just a short walk away. This renovated chalet, built in the 1990s, is set on a hillside, overlooking the lake, the mountains and the ski lifts - it's easy to lose a couple of hours  on the terrace in front of that view! The garden is a series of terraces, including a stylish pergola with a hot tub.The chalet is also equipped with a lockable garage for bikes. The chalet has three bath/shower rooms, but only one of the bedrooms is en suite. One of the shower rooms, which is off the living area, opens on to the hot tub terrace, making it perfect for a shower before stepping in to the bubbles. We love the glamorous kitchen, which has everything you need to cook up a feast for a hungry crowd. It also has doors on to the balcony - throw them open in the summer and make the most of that mountain air! The layout of Chalet Ruisselet make it a great choice for one or more families and the fabulous location means there's always something to see and do, whatever time of year you choose to visit. Free wifi, cleaning, towels & linen included.

You get two countries for the price of one when you stay at Chalet Ruisselet! Overlooking the Lac de Vonnes at the top of Châtel, the property is just before the border with Switzerland. It's a short walk to the chair lift which takes you up to Super Chatel, from where you can go on to  Linga and Pré-la-Joux on the Portes du Soleil circuit. The ski bus stops at the chairlift, giving you easy access in to the village, but if you fancy the walk, it will take you just 10-15 minutes. 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 paraglidin
