Champéry – Les Crosets – Champoussin – Morgins

About the area

This Swiss corner of Les Portes du Soleil offers about 82 km of marked pistes, and 64% of them are green or blue — roughly 53 km of easy terrain spread between Champéry, Les Crosets, Champoussin and Morgins. That makes it a solid base for beginners and improving skiers, with the caveat that the easy runs sit alongside 7% black, expert and freeride terrain, so route choice matters. Confident intermediates get 23 km of red. Experts should look elsewhere: only 6 km is black or harder. Families can ski here, but note that just two of the lifts are a gondola and a cable car, so small children will have to handle chairlifts.

The area runs from 1,059 m up to 2,144 m and is served by 32 lifts: 12 chairlifts, 10 platters, 4 T-bars, 3 rope tows, 1 gondola, 1 cable car and 1 further drag lift. Champéry has the valley-floor access, while Les Crosets and Champoussin start higher, which helps on warm days.
