Champery holiday apartment: Champery

Winter: Staying on the Swiss side the skiing is mainly blue and red runs with a few notable exceptions such as the infamous 'Swiss Wall'. Depending or your skiing standard there is usually more than 1 way to get to your destination, so mixed ability groups can easily meet up for lunch. More advanced skiers can easily access gullies under the Mossettes chair, black runs in the Avoriaz / Morzine sector and off piste opportunities across the whole area. From Avoriaz you can do the complete circuit across to Lindarets, Chatel and Super Chatel before heading home via Torgon, Morgins and Champoussin. Finish your day with the red run down to Grand Paradis. There are some phenomenal picnic spots about halfway round which, on a clear day, provide superb views of Lake Geneva / Leman. For 2008/9 new 8 seater chair lift is being installed at Les Crosets. A new chair also being installed to improve the Champoussin / Les Crosets link.

Summer: Lifts remain open in summer to provide access to the 600Km of biking and hiking trails. The weather is generally mild until early November so Champery makes an ideal place for an autumn walking or cycling break. Some walks are themed e.g. local flora and fauna or local farming activities. A number of small restaurants are open at higher altitudes in the summer and can be reached either by car or by walkers. The biking trails can be accessed via the many lifts that remain open throughout the year. The recently completed Sports Centre has 2 swimming pools and an ice rink, There are natural spa pools at Thermes Parc in the next village and the Spa centre is being refurbished during autumn 2008. The recently completed Palladium centre has a swimming pool, ice rink and spa area. The courageous of all ages can try the Adventure Park in Champery. There is also one in Champoussin. Each year Champéry hosts a classical and jazz music festival in mid summer.
