Final destination Champery (
www.champery.ch ) ... see you again at my return (7th January
)
Champéry, a ski resort with an altitude of 1,050 meters in the canton of Valais, is nestled at the bottom of the Dents du Midi and Dents Blanches mountains in the heart of the 'Portes du Soleil ski area'. Historically, tourism here dates back to 1857. This date marks the opening of the first hotel in Champéry, the Hôtel des Dents-du-Midi. This makes Champéry one of the oldest touristic sites in Switzerland.
Both a charmingly authentic village and a multi-faceted tourist resort, Champéry will win your heart with its traditional and well-preserved architecture. The village street is lined with chalets typical to the region and remarkable for their sculpted balconies and « toits en sifflet » (rooflines which project like bellows).
In under 5 minutes, a cable car will whisk you away to the “Portes du Soleil” ski area which offers more than 650 km. of ski slopes for wintersports lovers and 580 km. of walking and all-terrain biking trails in summer.
