Description

Trails 18, 19 and 20 in Champex are three trails in Champex-Lac, each offering an enchanting setting for cross-country skiing, with accessible levels and varied landscapes. The loop at the foot of La Breya winds through the forest, allowing you to enjoy the tranquillity of nature while catching glimpses of the frozen lake and the resort. The flat and peaceful marsh trail is ideal for beginners and connects the large lake to the small marsh lake. Finally, the trail on the frozen lake of Champex is very easy and offers a unique view of the resort and the surrounding mountains, notably the Combins.
