The skiable terrain is located between 1,100 and 2,200 m altitude. Due to the close proximity of Lake Geneva there is regular precipitation and therefore lots of snow during winter. Should the snow not come as expected there are 170 snow canons which guarantee winter fun from mid December until the end of April (provided the temperatures allow it). Besides the Châtel area there are also pistes in the areas of Torgon, Morgins and La Chapelle d'Abondance, which are included in the lift pass.
