Champéry in winter
a Grand-Paradis
under the Dents du Midi
From the fairy-tale Rue du Village to the polar-like Grand-Paradis plateau, the magic of winter certainly originates in Champéry.
At the foot of the Dents du Midi, raising your eyes to the sky is like watching the Croix-de-Culet or scrutinizing the Haute-Cime, over which winter has drawn its thick white curtain. After the wonder, it’s finally time to go and enjoy an alpine raclette by the fire…
From the village, the red cable car of the Croix-de-Culet drops skiers in a few minutes on the slopes, heading to the Portes du Soleil domain to escape to wide open spaces! From up there, the Dents du Midi and the Dents Blanches seem within reach… If you like technical and demanding slopes, you can challenge yourself to cross the famous “Swiss Wall” … 1 km long and ungroomed with a gradient of more than 70%, this slope is known to be one of the most difficult in the world and is reserved for experts who are not afraid of the cold… Adrenaline guaranteed!
