Champéry – Les Portes du Soleil

The views here are the stuff of legends

The views here are the stuff of legends; with the sheer peaks of the Dents du Midi dominating one side of the valley, on the other, there's an equally mind-boggling sight that's famous the world over. From the Swiss village centre take the cable car to the top; before you know it you'll be at the foot of the 'le Mur Suisse'...the Swiss Wall, also know as Chavanette. Some conquer the beast but others turn back, with no shame because you can dive into the Grand Paradis circuit. Champéry has a massive 62 km of terrain to explore, with something for everyone, especially for intermediate freeride skiers. Freestyle skiers will be kept busy with the park and halfpipe.
