Weekend Skiing in Champery

Champery is a beautiful Swiss Alpine village, just over an hour away from Geneva Airport, situated in the Western Swiss Alps and forms a major gateway into Les Portes du Soleil – the worlds largest international ski area. Despite welcoming tourists for over 150 years. Champery has retained its unspoilt character. The narrow main street flanked by traditional Swiss style chalets is a picture postcard! Champery has a wealth of facilities, for those with energy left after a day on the slopes, the sports centre has both indoor skating as well as a large indoor swimming pool, the Thermal Baths in Val-d’illiez are a wonderful relief for tired limbs. Apres ski kicks off in any one of a number of bars that litter the main streets and continues into the early hours at the Crevasse nightclub. The railway allows non skiers to venture out of the mountains on day trips.
