Champex-Lac Overview

Champex-Lac is a captivating ski resort nestled in the heart of the Alps, part of the Pays Du Saint Bernard pass trio. Famed for its panoramic views, this resort effortlessly combines natural beauty with winter sports thrills. A high-speed lift swiftly carries visitors to the peak, where they're greeted by a splendid vista of towering Alpine peaks.

Though the skiing terrain is not expansive, it offers a diverse range of slopes, making Champex-Lac suitable for both seasoned skiers and those seeking to enhance their skills. Off-piste areas provide an excellent opportunity for practice, while the road run down adds an element of adventure. Despite the resort's popularity, conditions remain favorable late into the season, with excellent snow conditions persisting even in mid-March.

An intermediate lift is a noteworthy feature, preventing the need for repetitive full descents and ascents, and allowing for more time on the slopes. The resort is an ideal destination for families, as it avoids the crowdedness of larger resorts. With minimal queues and parking conveniently located next to the chairlift departure point, it promises an enjoyable and stress-free experience.

The resort's appeal extends beyond the winter season. During summer, the chairlift, one of Europe's steepest, offers a breathtaking journey over the verdant landscape. Regardless of skill level or season, visitors often describe Champex-Lac as a 'little corner of paradise,' a testament to its sublime beauty and serene ambiance. This resort truly embodies the magic of alpine skiing, providing an unforgettable experience for all who visit.
