Champery

Few towns in Valais have a history as closely tied to alpine tourism as Champéry. Set in the Val d’Illiez, the village faces the jagged Dents du Midi massif and lies beside the Vièze, a mountain stream descending through the valley. Its railway terminus links it with the Rhône valley, while lifts from the village connect skiers and walkers to the Swiss side of Portes du Soleil, the cross-border mountain area shared with France. Traditional chalets and the parish church give the compact centre a distinctly alpine character rather than the scale of a purpose-built resort. Discover additional webcams from the surrounding Val d’Illiez to extend your view of the Dents du Midi.
