    Nature lovers call this area "Little Canada": the picturesque village lies on a wonderful mountain lake. Between Le Châtelet and Le Catogne there is a unique, intact plateau.



    Champex is not only eponymous for the "Col de Champex" Pass, but also offers great "Aprez Ride" activities, such as a visit to the alpine flower garden or a visit to old underground Swiss fortifications.

      Whether from the north or south, this idyllic landscape should be on your racing bike program if you are in the area!

        A true gem and natural idyll that should not be missed - especially not on a road bike tour, because both climbs are well worth a visit. Especially on the way up to the Great St. Bernard, this point is a great way to swap less attractive kilometers on the main road in the valley for wonderful kilometers over the Col and to the Lax de Champex.
