One of the prettiest villages in Switzerland, Champex lies on the shores of a beautiful blue lake, nestling in the mountains. It is an ideal point for a rest day, with botanical garden, underground museum, and boats for hire on the lake, not to mention the options for exciting day walks up to the glaciers. Post office, internet café and supermarkets plus sports equipment shops are found here. A bus service links it with the Swiss railways at Orsières.
