Located in the hills above Châtel-Saint-Denis, in the Fribourg Pre-Alps, Rathvel is a small resort particularly well-suited for learning to ski and family outings. The ski area extends from 1,200 to 1,500 meters in elevation and features four lifts, allowing skiers of all skill levels to enjoy the slopes.
The resort features a dedicated area for beginners and children—the Rathvel Junior—as well as slopes served by the resort’s various lifts. A night ski session is also held on Friday evenings.
Rathvel is part of the Magic Pass network, allowing pass holders to access the ski area during the winter season.
