Richard and Angela Anderson

Self catered holidays in the heart of the Alps

The Relais apartment and Chalet Arthur are located on the lower road between the villages of La Chapelle d'Abondance and Chatel, while Apartment Iris is close to the centre of Chatel on a  road leading to the Linga and Pre la Joux ski areas. A car is essential for the Relais and Arthur and advisable for Iris. Bearing that in mind there are many ways to reach us. Use this Google link to see exactly where we are located and get directions to us.

By Air

Fly to Geneva: there are at least 20 flights a day from the UK including many by Easyjet. Car hire on the Swiss side of the airport puts you 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours from our properties, generally at a reasonable cost. Taxi transfers can be arranged through many internet based companies.  There are also trains from the airport to Aigle in Switzerland twice an hour which then gives you a more reasonable 1/2 hour taxi ride to Chatel, or friends can pick you up if you are travelling separately.

By Road

We are almost exactly 500 miles(800 km) from Calais which can be done legally in 8 - 9 hours. With ferry prices as low as £60 return and some airlines charging for skis this can be a good option. We can recommend routes and stopping points.
