NewThe Grand Paradis chairlift is exceptionally open this summer (pedestrian and mountain bike access).

The Grand-Paradis chairlift in Champéry is a detachable 6-seater lift built in 2004 by Garaventa. With a length of 1,629 meters and a vertical rise of 634 meters, it connects the village of Champéry – Grand-Paradis (1,063 m) to the Planachaux sector (1,697 m) with a capacity of 1,600 people per hour.

Thanks to its detachable system, boarding and unloading are smooth and safe. The chairlift provides quick and convenient access to the vast Portes du Soleil ski area, popular with families and winter sports enthusiasts alike. In summer, it also provides direct access to the World Cup DH (black) and Chevreuil (red) mountain bike trails.

A free parking lot and ticket office to purchase your ski pass are located at the base of the lift.

Finally, a free shuttle links the Grand-Paradis sector with the center of Champéry village (train station and cable car).
