Hiking Area: A HIKER’S PARADISE, WITH 800KM OF TRAILS AND 22 CHAIRLIFTS

Before the last winter snows have melted, hikers take over the mountainsides. There are almost limitless excursions to choose from, whether you stay closer to home or hitch a ride up into the peaks on one of the many chairlifts that stay open in summer. Take the time to smell the flowers, enjoy the panoramic views, dabble your toes in a frigid alpine lake and treat yourself to a delectable treat at a quaint mountain refuge…  

Before you set off, don’t forget your Multi Pass! This is your golden ticket to free passage on all the lifts and a mountain of activities during summer season in the Portes du Soleil as well! In Region Dents du Midi, it is provided for free with all overnight stays or may be purchased for CHF 15.- per day / CHF 99.- per season.

The Champéry cable car will take you to the top of Croix de Culet at 2’144m, the starting point for many hiking tracks.
