General information on Champex-Lac can be found on the web site "www.champex.info" and if you click on the photo gallery you will find over 50 photographs covering both winter and summer seasons. The chairlift is open for most of the year and is 2 minutes drive by car where there is an ample free car park. Alternatively you can use the Saint-Bernard Express - the bus stop is directly outside "Le Grand Combin".
During the summer the lake is the focal point of the village. Boats are available to hire and there is fishing too. Or you may simply want to sit in a local bar or café beside the lake and soak up some mountain sunshine. Other summer activities include tennis, swimming in the lake or the outside heated swimming pool, cycling and of course walking.

Champex-Lac is at the centre of a network of walks, from gentle downhill strolls to major Alpine touring routes and glacier walking. Those wanting a more relaxed holiday can enjoy a glass of wine looking over the tranquil lake, take a pedalo across it, or explore the village's fascinating Alpine Botanic Garden. The village makes an excellent starting point for exploring the region by public transport or car. The other villages of the Pays du Saint-Bernard are close by. In the local town of Martigny, you will find the Fondation Pierre Gianadda (an art gallery of international reputation), various examples of Roman architecture (including an amphitheatre), and several medieval buildings, notably the town castle.
Champex-Lac has an amazing number of restaurants and cafes, a boulangerie and general store and other shops including a ski and walking shop where you can hire ski equipment.

Golf is available at Verbier which is just a 30 minute drive away from Champex-Lac. The course has been built at an altitude of 1,600m and provides stunning views of the surrounding mountains.

Due to its height (1500-2200m) Champex-Lac has a long ski season. It is a charming crowd-free resort with 15km of piste together with challenging offpiste and tree skiing, 4 lifts including a nursery slope and a further 30km of cross country routes. There is a branch of the Swiss Snowsports School (SSS). There is a beautiful long sledge run and an ice tower to climb.
A number of walks are kept open through the snow in the winter, while those wanting to venture further on foot can try snowshoe walking (raquette). For a change you can ski at Verbier - to beat the morning lift queue you can take the bubble lift from Le Chable just 25 minutes drive away. Also within 30 minutes driving are small ski stations at La Fouly, Super St Bernard, Vicheres-Bavon and Bruson - all offer a good days sking.
