Portes du Soleil

Champéry is located in the heart of the Alps, the Canton du Valais, beneath the dramatic Dents-du-Midi mountains. The village links up with the famous Portes du Soleil ski area offering more than 650km of pistes. The village, with its own supply of boutiques, restaurants and terraces, is situated at an altitude of 1050m with a cable car taking guests from the centre of the village straight up to 2200m. From here skiers and boarders head out, enjoying a huge variety of pistes and exploring different areas of the Portes du Soleil each day. There are over 90 restaurants, giving plenty of opportunities for a mid-morning coffee, a quick snack or a traditional mountain gourmet lunch. The Portes du Soleil links the well-known villages of Champéry, Avoriaz, Les Gets, Morzine and Champoussin, enabling skiers to criss-cross all day between France and Switzerland.
