Imposing views are the stuff of legend in Champéry. With the sheer peaks of the Dents du Midi dominating one side of the valley, on the other, there's an equally mind-boggling sight that's famous the world over.

From the village centre take the cable car to the top; before you know it you'll be at the foot of the 'le Mur Suisse'...the Swiss Wall, also know as Chavanette. Some conquer the beast but others turn back, tempted no doubt by the delightful Grand Paradis circuit. In Champéry you choose the kind of skiing you want to do.
