Photo: Pays du St-Bernard
Very beautiful path that circles Champex, its chalets, and its lake.
This long route can be done in several parts and allows you to discover Champex-Lac, its resort, its surroundings and its panoramas from several viewpoints. With this path, you will better understand why Champex-Lac is nicknamed the "Little Swiss Canada".
Author’s recommendation
You can dine at the Belvédère hotel with its charming atmosphere and panoramic view of the Combins massif.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
