The last few days of my parents visit we headed over to Chatel, France. It is where the locals go for mountain biking and we were told that it is also the largest inter-connected skiing region in all of Europe.
Here are some pictures of the town:





Here is our hotel. We had an awesome view!

My mom and dad enjoying their first raclette dinner

Jack wanted me to take a picture of his dinner too

Later that night we enjoyed some good champagne (don't worry, Jack's glass is sparkling water)

Here we are at breakfast the next morning

Luke ready to ride!

My dad, Luke and my mom ready to go mountain biking

Here is the cool dude I spent the day hanging out with

They had the first alpine slide that Jack was allowed to go on. Instead of taking a ski lift to the top of the slide, you sit in the cart and are pulled up.

View from the top

Jack loved it! We rode the slide over and over for hours!

And we spent some time just hanging out as well

It was absolutely gorgeous!



Luke and Jack relaxing

After everyone returned from mountain biking, we left Jack with my mom and the rest of us headed back up the mountain:

Halfway up there was a huge festival going on

Apparently it had something to do with the "most beautiful cow" contest

We past right by it and kept heading higher up the mountain

Once we were at the top we were ready to try the "Fantasticable." It is basically a zip line that takes you from mountain top to mountain top.

Luke and my dad ready for the ride

My dad went first.

And he's off!

This was my view when I stepped up to the ledge

Here I am ready to go

And I'm off!

Here is a picture I took mid flight

Here is Luke coming in for his landing

We made it back in one piece!

A lonely hut in the mountains

Here are some pictures of the crazy mountain bike paths. This one is a jump over a stream

Not even sure what these are called:

And some jumps:

Once we were back at the bottom, Jack wanted to do the alpine slide again with Luke

So much fun!

Chatel was an amazing place and I can't wait to go back this winter!
