Relais d'Arpette

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This is a good place to stop and spend the night. It is also listed as a stopover in some travel guides.
I'm not entirely sure, but it seemed as if camping was possible. But as I said, I'm not at all sure, so make sure to check beforehand.

Camping Les Rocailles

Highlight • Rest Area

Here is a simple but very practical campsite, a stone's throw from the lake, grocery stores and other Champex-Lac stores. The setting is magnificent.

Champex-Lac Lake

Highlight • Lake

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.
