On the slopes

The Champéry ski resort is not a great idea for those who lack skiing experience or young children because there is only one slope that is appropriate for learners who have no previous experience. On the other hand, for those who have some exposure to skiing and snowboarding this a wonderful place to visit, as most of the Portes du Soleil range is open to skiers. For expert skiers the "Swiss Wall" is accessible to conquer on your own or with the aid of an excellent ski school.

Ski area :

If you ski Champéry you are also in the Swiss ski region of Valais and the ski area of Portes du Soleil along with the following resorts; Abondance, Avoriaz, Champéry, Châtel, Les Crosets, Les Gets, Morgins, Morzine, St Jean d'Aulps .

Off the slopes

While Champéry may radiate an image of being a small cottage village there is many restaurants to visit in the evening as well as a few lively nightclubs if you have stamina after a day in the slopes or take a quick energy nap. For those who want to experience the full village experience there are also many tea rooms throughout the town or you can hope on the cable car and take a trip to the top of Chez Coquoz for a standard hot cocoa with snacks. Additionally, in the village there are also several bars for adults who wish to take the edge out of a long cold day if you want a reward at the end of a challenging day on the slopes.

RESORT GOOD POINTS

  • Having the Portes du Soleil ski area on your doorstep
  • One of the Alps oldest resorts, its a charming Swiss mountain village
  • The immediate skiing and boarding offers some excellent intermediate challenges

RESORT BAD POINTS

  • No runs directly back into the village
  • The beginner areas are not so simple to get to - and are not that simple!
  • Slope orientation means they can be prone to slushing as sun and temperatures increase
