Champéry

The village of Champéry, the first Valais Olympic site in the heart of the Dents du Midi region, has a rich, centuries-old tourist heritage. In the early 20th century, English visitors to the village imported curling. Today, the icy slopes of the Palladium sports center are trodden by the sport’s greatest champions. And the picturesque Rue du Village, lined with century-old chalets, gives Champéry its typical Swiss character.
