About Champery

A classic Alpine village in the heart of one of the world's largest ski areas, the Portes du Soleil. Quaint yet contemporary, in spite of years of tourism and change, the village still retains its authentic charm. In an idyllic location deep in the mountains, it is the perfect place for a week of respite. The accommodation is plentiful and our pick of the best places to stay in Champery has something for everyone from budget options to grand luxury properties.

Nestling between Dents-du-Midi and Dents Blanche, Champery is in many ways your typical Alpine village. The main street is picturesque, full of traditional old chalets with carved balconies and Alpine roofs, while modernity still inevitably creeps in, in the form of lush contemporary facilities like the indoor ice rink and curling hall. There is also a fascinating open-air museum, called Champery 1830, which is a must-see for anyone interested in regional history and culture.

The Portes du Soleil is only a short cable-car ride away - the largest ski area in the world - and even closer to home are 8 blue runs, 8 red runs and 4 black runs. Le Mur Suisse, aka the Swiss Wall, is one of the steepest slopes in the world, running for 1km, with a gradient of 50 degrees! Experienced skiers will enjoy giving this a go, while the snowpark lying nearby is perfect for freestylers.

What not to miss

  • Take the cable car to Champery-les-Crosets where you will find the largest ski area in the world.
  • If you're a freestyler, why not check out the snowpark?
  • Feeling brave? Give Le Mur Suisse a go! It should only be attempted by experienced skiers.
  • Check out Champery 1830, an excellent open-air museum detailing the cultural heritage of the region.
  • Go for a walk to the beautiful Anthem Lake, that on clear days, the waters mirror the sky!
  • If you're a cyclist, take the cable car to the Bike Park.

Picturesque and teeming with fun things-to-do, Champery is the ideal destination for skiers and hikers alike. Find out more by checking our collection of the best places to stay in Champery.
