This is a beautiful mountain lake right next to the namesake
small town. There are many facilities where you can eat and sleep. Despite being touristy, it is never too crowded.

A beautiful mountain lake Champex right next to the same name
town. Lots of places to stop and a few bars and restaurants.
When the wind blows, the mountain peaks are reflected in the crystal-clear lake.

As the main stage of the Tour du Mont Blanc in summer, Champex-Lac boasts a long tourist tradition. At the beginning of the 20th century, the first tourists contributed to the foundation and then the development of one of the most beautiful resorts in Valais. The accommodation offer is varied and excellent, from the country inn to the three-star hotel, including also accommodations for sleeping bags.

Dubbed "little Canada" by nature lovers, this picturesque resort is located around a magnificent alpine lake. Between Le Châtelet and Le Catogne, a beautiful natural plateau.
