Champex Lac area 
Champex is quite unique - its stunning location gives the sense of unspoilt wilderness yet benefits from its proximity to the Rhone Valley, France and Italy. Its offers many possibilities for a fantastic all year round holiday, from peace and tranquillity to action packed mountain sports.  
 
Champex provides excellent skiing opportunities for all levels & is best recommended for beginners, intermediates, families and skiiers looking for challenging offpiste and tree skiing. The ski touring is particulary good. The pisted areas are served by 4 lifts and covers 25km of varied uncrowded terrain, from a level of 2,200m at La Breya. Its north facing aspect provides a long season with good quality snow that many south facing resorts lack late in the season. Skiiers from nearby resorts, such as Verbier come to Champex to enjoy the uncrowded off piste where fresh snow can be found long after a snow fall.

Since we purchased the apartment in the spring of 2007, we have been very lucky to have received many guests from all over the world, all of whom have marvelled at what Champex has to offer. One Swiss family love the apartment so much that they rent it every winter for the whole season.

We look forward to welcoming you in Champex, a place for all seasons.

Mrs Mac - Canada June 2008
'We enjoyed the hiking at Champex. Our kids loved the boats on the lake -- both the paddle boats and the row boats. Marney and I both run and we loved running the trails and we also enjoyed using the vita par cours around the lake. We could have easily spent two weeks at your place and sometimes regret that we didn't do so. We can see why you love it so much'. Mr & Mrs Mac - Canada.

This was our 1st time in Switzerland so we didn't know what to expect. We arrived at night & found the apartment both warm & welcoming. When we woke up in the morning we were stunned by the scenery. We loved Champex & especially the thermal baths at Saillon!’. Mr & Mrs A - Jersey

By car, Verbier can be reached in 30 mins, Chamonix in 45 mins and Villars in 1 hour.

Champex Lac enjoys a unique setting, situated on a lake at 1,500 metres nestled between the foothills of the mountains around the Trient glacier, part of the Mont Blanc area and the totally isolated Catogne.
