As a hidden Swiss Gem; Champex - Lac sparkles in Summer

The village offers numerous sports and leisure activities such as boating, lakeside walks, swimming (subject to local opening hours), tennis and mountain biking. For the outdoor enthusiast Champex and the surrounding area is of course a hiker's paradise and it is one of the starting points for the challening North face Ultra Trail mountain race.

The ride in the chair lift to the top of La Breya is a breathtaking experience and the panoramic views from the top are spectacular.

If it's culture and heritage you're after, Champex-Lac offers two gems. The alpine botanical garden where colours, perfumes and varieties of exquisite native alpine plants will make your visit an unforgettable experience. You will also find here tranquil pools, waterfalls and streams.  Whilst, the underground artillery fort is a monument to Swiss military defence strategy. Built entirely underground, this structure comprises not just defence posts, but also a hospital, rest areas, a kitchen and many other surprises. 

Then there is always the pleasure of simply relaxing around the lake or on the balcony of the apartment and enjoying the sunshine!
