In this guide, you'll learn exactly what our non-smoking policy covers, why it matters for comfort, safety, and sustainability, and how to enjoy the outdoors respectfully while making the most of your stay.

The Policy at a Glance

Is smoking allowed inside chalets and mobile homes at Camping du Châtelet?

• No. Smoking is not permitted inside any of our chalets or mobile homes.

This clear policy keeps interiors fresh for every guest and helps protect our natural surroundings. If you smoke, please do so outdoors and be considerate of other guests.

Why a Non-Smoking Policy Benefits Your Stay

A smoke-free stay isn't just a rule—it's a promise of comfort, safety, and environmental care.

1) Comfort you can feel

• Fresher interiors: Non-smoking chalets and mobile homes stay free from lingering odours and residue, so you arrive to spaces that feel genuinely clean and welcoming.
• Allergy-friendly stays: Smoke-free rooms help reduce triggers for sensitive guests, including families with young children.

2) A family-first environment

• Kid-friendly vibe: With on-site fun like a bouncy castle, a multi-sports field, pétanque courts, ping-pong and foosball, our atmosphere is designed for families. Smoke-free interiors align with that experience by keeping shared living spaces healthy and pleasant for all ages.

3) Fire safety in a natural setting

• Lower risk indoors: Prohibiting smoking inside chalets and mobile homes helps reduce ignition risks in furnished, compact spaces.
• Clear outdoor rules: On pitches, charcoal barbecues are permitted when used responsibly and fully extinguished; campfires are not permitted. The same spirit of caution applies to any outdoor smoking—always extinguish fully and dispose of waste properly.

4) Sustainability you can trust

Our smoke-free interiors support a broader environmental commitment that includes:

• Eco-labels and quality: Camping du Châtelet has held the international Green Key eco-label since 2004 and the French Camping Qualité label since 2010.
• Practical eco-actions: Solar panels heat most of our hot water, we run selective waste sorting and compost organic waste, use environmentally friendly cleaning products, and care for green spaces with biodiversity in mind.

Together, these measures keep your accommodation healthy, our surroundings pristine, and your holiday aligned with responsible travel values.

Enjoy the Outdoors—Respectfully

Our location invites you outside—then rewards you for staying there.

• Lakeside setting: A campsite on Lake Geneva with the Alps as your backdrop offers breezy terraces and open-air relaxation. The public beach of Sciez is just a 5-minute walk via a safe pedestrian path and holds the international Blue Flag label, with lifeguards on duty in July and August.
• Active days, fresh evenings: Walk to the Sciez Nautical Center (open March to October) to try Optimists, dinghies, catamarans, windsurfing, and stand-up paddleboarding—then unwind back at your fresh, non-smoking accommodation.

Outdoor smoking etiquette

If you smoke, please:

• Do so outdoors, away from doors, windows, and neighbours’ seating areas.
• Be considerate around children’s play zones and shared facilities.
• Extinguish completely and dispose responsibly (never on the ground; follow on-site guidance).
• Ask reception if you’re unsure about courteous locations for outdoor smoking.

• 35 m² two-bedroom chalet
• 35 m² three-bedroom chalet
• 35 m² accessible chalet
• 40 m² premium chalet
• 21 m² couple’s chalet
