The Châtel Cultural and Touristic Centre

Designed as a true “landscape building,” it evokes a rocky promontory offering exceptional views of the surrounding mountains. From its upper levels, visitors and residents can enjoy a unique immersion in the heart of the Chablais landscape.
The building’s architecture interacts with the site’s topography to create a natural continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces. Inspired by local heritage, the project combines noble materials such as stone and wood. Its wood-clad exterior, featuring contemporary burnt-out hues, elegantly reinterprets the simplicity of traditional mountain barns.

The Cultural and Tourist Center will be a shared community space where you’ll find:


➡️The new tourist office

Starting this summer, the entire Châtel Tourisme team will be delighted to welcome you to its new, more modern, spacious, and bright facilities, which open onto the plaza and the heart of the village.
Châtel Tourisme will thus offer vacationers a modernized welcome, a unique observation deck, and seamless service combining in-person and digital interactions.
Access will be from the main road, via the footbridge.


➡️A versatile, professional performance hall

Designed to host a wide variety of events, the performance hall features retractable bleachers that allow for several configurations:
- 250 seats with the bleachers fully extended.
- 90 seats with the bleachers partially extended for more intimate settings.
- 600 standing spaces with the bleachers folded away, ideal for concerts and large gatherings.
The venue is equipped with professional-grade stage equipment, including a high-performance sound system, a dedicated lighting rig, and fixed and motorized rigging structures. This equipment allows the venue to host professional shows, concerts, artistic performances, conferences, and technical events under optimal conditions.
