Champéry is a beautiful old village in the valley; a cable car climbs to the slopes at Planachaux, with most hotels a short walk from the lift in the village centre.
Champéry is one of the prettiest villages in the Valais, a long high street of old chalets beneath the sawtooth Dents du Midi, and the main Swiss entrance to the Portes du Soleil. A cable car lifts skiers to Planachaux and the great cross-border circuit of around 600 km that loops through a dozen French and Swiss resorts. The local Swiss side is quiet and scenic, including the fearsome Swiss Wall above Les Crosets, while the village keeps a genuine, unspoilt feel.

The season runs from Dec 14 to Apr 14, with a snow score of 80/100. The best conditions are usually from late January through February, while spring skiing in March and April brings longer days and softer afternoons.
