The Swiss Alps / Valais/Swiss Alps region

Champex-Lac is a hidden gem of a place nestled in the Swiss Alps in the canton of Valais. Valais is a canton of extremes and contrast from the snowy mountain peaks to the dry summer heat of flat bottomed Rhone Valley.

Of course this is a region of out door activities but aside from skiing and walking there are so many other reasons to visit. For those with a young family a trip to the Saint Bernards Dog Museum in Martigny is a must. Martigny is also a cultural centre with several museums, an art gallery, sculpture park and Roman Ampitheatre.

For wine drinkers Valais is a pure delight as Vineyards flank the sides of the Rhone Valley and the local wines of Fendant and Dole are a real treat. There is even a Michelin Star restaurant in Orsiere which is well worth a visit (those in the know visit the inexpensive family friendly brasserie next door).


Champex Lac area

Skiing can be found on the doorstep within the village whilst nearby Verbier and the Four Valleys offer extensive pistes.

In the summer there is boating on the lake. The village communal tennis court and swimming pool are also within walking distance (subject to local opening hours).

Valais is also a region of natural mineral Spas perfect for a days relaxation and pampering.

The village has several restaurants, a couple of bakeries and few local shops. For your food shopping there is a small supermarket in Orsiere opposite the station and a large Migros in Martigny.
