The best terrasse ever in Châtel, just in front of the steep slopes, with a lot of sun. It can be crowdy at the afterski hour, but if you get a table, you'll have for what you paid for. It's definitely a foodie hot spot with a good atmosphere. It's a good value with local dishes and copious plates. On the top of that, It's a must try!

Would definitely recommend this hotel. We arrived late at night which was no problem as there’s a PIN code to access the building after hours. There is a lift which is handy with heavy luggage if on higher floor. Room was much bigger than I expected, we had a quad room and was more than big enough for x4 adults with two separate rooms. Room was lovely and warm, with radiator on 24/7 which you can control. The pool 11am-8pm and accessed with a PIN code. The pool isn’t especially warm, but it’s good for a quick refreshing dip, the whirlpool is the bottom part of the pool (not a separate hot tub). The sauna is turned on from 4:30pm. Breakfast was a continental style with local jam, meat, cheese, pastries and cakes etc and a hot drinks machine. There are only about x3 options locally for dinner, we ate at Renard most nights. Places book up quickly so book ahead. Or there is the half board option where dinner is a fixed menu served 7-8pm in the hotel. We walked into Chatel on one night, if buses have finished it’s a pretty long slog so wouldn’t recommend! Hotel is located right next to the Linga lift, so a few meters walk in the morning to catch the lift and ski to door in afternoon (Though runs not suitable for total beginners). Top tips Buy your lift pass online before, then collect from the Linga machine by scanning the QR code. If there’s a group of you be sure to select the group discount option. Pre book your ski hire online at Linga Ski Shop (next to hotel) and you’ll get a discount. The Fantasticable at the top of the Rochassons lift is quite a fun activity. The piste map is so big it’s not totally accurate, especially on the Swiss side. So be sure to pick up a local map if you’re over that way which has a zoomed in view of the lifts.…

We were looking for a long weekend ski retreat with access into the Port de Soleil and found the Hotel Le Schuss, a very comfortable and reasonably priced hotel located at the foot of the piste 20yds from the Linga telecabin. Having taken the half board option the breakfast was simple (bread, criossants, cereal, boiled eggs and coffe/juices and the evening meals tasty and surprsingly good with a set meal on offer. For a little bit more we opted for a room overlooking the piste which was comfortable and served its purpose and for those wanting a swim/sauna, facilities are onsite. For skiing, the Linga takes you approximately half way up the valley then a connecting chair lift takes you to the top where you can drop down into Plaine Deanse and onward to Avoriaz and surrounding areas. The ski shop is in the same building and residents of the hotel are offered a discount which also proved to be very reasobale. We found the staff in both the hotel and shop to be extrmely helpful. If you want to explore further afield there is a bus stop outside with regular free shuttles which take you to Pre La Joux or alternatively into Chatel itself. For convenience everything falls into place however if you are wanting to party then this is probably not the place for you. Excellent value for money in our view with helpful staff.…

Staying in Avoriaz we skied over to Chatel, accessed by both blue and red run options. Le Schuss restaurant is situated at the bottom of the Linga cable car. A sunny outside seating area and large indoor self service restaurant. I had the cheeseburger and chips for €12 - excellent value for money, the cheeseburger was excellent and there was an enormous pile of French fries, far more than I or my husband could eat and we have good appetites. A pint of beer was only €4.20. Again excellent value for money for a piste side restaurant. Recommended.

We stayed at the last minute in the Schuss... Yohan the owner is great, speaks a little english, but very helpful and always attentive. The hotel has been family owned for over 40 years, but the latest generation to run the hotel have vastly improved the interior and feel of the place. It really is a modern piece of traditional savoyard alpine style. Wood panels throughout with a good use of the modern and traditional. The new pool is great, panoramic views over the slopes, whirlpool and sauna also. The best bit is the location, right on the slopes, ski in and gondola out... perfect. One thing that does need improvement is the lounge area, it really does need a bigger lounge area, where you could relax after a day out skiing or after your evening meal, no real communal area......aprt from that it is great.... especially the food. many thanks Yohan....see you soon.…

The location is excellent but the package price (it was compulsory to have either the evening meal or the buffet lunch) was a little high for what was provided. As we wanted to watch a 6 nations rugby match, and the nearest place was in Chatel, and the fact that there Is only a 1 hour window at 7 for dinner, we went for the lunch option. After watching rugby and having dinner in Chatel we arrived back to the hotel around 11.30, and this is when the fun really started. All lights were off, the door code we had been given did not work and there was no sign of life. We were locked out in freezing temperatures. After an HOUR of knocking on doors and windows and phoning the hotel number which was not answered, a young man appeared from nowhere, brandishing a wheel-brace! We explained our situation and it turned out he was a waiter who worked on site. He tried the door and confirmed it was faulty. He eventually phoned another member of staff who was sleeping in the hotel who woke up and let us in. Next morning we explained to the management what had happened but were offered no explanation. There was no offer of a reduction in price and when we had the very basic lunch we were offered a free drink! For the inconvenience alone I would not recommend this place, in future I will choose one if the many owner run places, the management at Hotel le Schuss clearly didn't car about our predicament. …

This hotel was a real find - and deserves to be booked solid through the ski season. The web site shows it as it really is - rooms are freshly decorated and quite simple, but immaculately clean and comfortable. We stayed on a half board basis and both breakfast and dinner were substantial and tasty and served in a pleasant dining room with a roaring log fire. The hotel is situated right at the foot of the pistes - with an excellent ski hire shop within the same building - which stores your skis and boots (in a warmer) overnight. The gondola is another 5 metres away. This is truly ski in ski out.... The owners were very friendly and helpful. This is my sort of hotel!
