What makes this resort different
Family progression base
Mountain character
Champex is best understood as a family progression base: easier terrain, moderate gradients and usable access make progression the strongest structural story.
70% blue pistes
10% black pistes
The trade-off
Progression-focused trips where easier and moderate terrain form a large part of the usable mountain.
Advanced skiers seeking a strongly technical profile may find the terrain mix less distinctive.
