Champéry
A traditional mountain village on the Swiss side of the Portes du Soleil, its main street of wooden chalets facing the striking Dents du Midi, reachable by ski across the border.
Champéry lies in the canton of Valais and is the most charming mountain village on the Swiss side of the Portes du Soleil. Traditional wooden chalets with carved balconies line the main street, facing the spectacular Dents du Midi. In winter you can ski across the border from Avoriaz; in summer a cable car takes hikers up the mountains, and a small train links the town with Aigle. Driving from Morzine requires a long detour, so skiing or hiking across the border is much more convenient. Switzerland uses the Swiss franc, and prices are high.
