Relais d'Arpette is a simple hotel and restaurant about 30 minutes above Champex.  A good stop along the TMB and Haute Route tours.

While the charming Relais d'Arpette hotel dates to 1926, their rooms were recently renovated in 2015.  They have a variety of rooms and small dorms, friendly service, great food and a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere high above town.  Great for an overnight, or just a stop for refreshments along your hike.

To walk from Champex, follow the road left to the la Breya chairlift.  Behind the chairlift, a small trail points you to the TMB to the right, under the chairs and along a small waterway.  Continue up this trail 20-30 minutes, curving left into the Arpette valley, to Hotel Relais d’Arpette.
