Tips and practical information for hiking
– Wear appropriate footwear and always take with you: warm clothing, preferably waterproof, plenty of water, sunglasses, sun cream and a small first-aid kit.
– Do not set off alone.
– Inform someone living in the valley of your plans.
– Do not change the planned itinerary indiscriminately. But do not hesitate to shorten it if necessary.
– Carry a map and even a torch.
– Check the weather forecast before setting off.
– In the event of a thunderstorm, move away from ridges, passes and summits as soon as possible and never take shelter under an isolated tree.
Please note: dogs must be kept on a lead because of the presence of herds and their guard dogs.
♦ Signal yourself so as not to surprise the dog (‘hello dog!’)
♦ As far as possible, go as far as possible around the herd without endangering yourself.
♦ If the dog approaches, stop or move forward slowly (but not towards the dog directly), do not stare into its eyes and speak to it calmly.
♦ With walking sticks: hold them in one hand and point them downwards. Above all, don’t brandish them.
♦ By bike: get off the bike as soon as possible and walk forward pushing your bike. To reassure yourself, you can put the bike between you and the dog.
The dog will return to its herd.
Get around easily with the shuttle buses!
In summer, free shuttles are also available to take you around the village or to Pré la Joux, the departure point of the ski lifts, the bike park, the bobsled, the Bike Park First Wheel and the Fantasticable.
The village and Pré la Joux shuttles run every day at set times. They serve lines 1 and 2. The Pré la Joux shuttle is equipped to transport mountain bikes.
No more waiting: track shuttles in real time and check timetables at a glance by downloading the Pysae app.
Book your table
In Châtel, you will find many restaurants that will be delighted to welcome you.
However, it is strongly recommended that you book your table in advance to ensure you get a seat, especially on Friday evenings when restaurants are often fully booked.
