Directions

From the Champex tourist office, go to the Revers ski lift and follow the lake on the right bank. Leave the lake shore on the right and take a dirt road to a campsite. Then take the path continuing in the same direction and crossing a scree until you reach the crossroads of La Forêt Voutaz. Follow the Trappers’ Trail upwards towards the La Breya chairlift. At the top, go around the chairlift on the right and then take the small path going down through a ski slope and scree before reaching the road. From here, take the main road to the centre of the resort.

Getting there

Exit the motorway at Martigny.

Follow the direction Grand-Saint-Bernard then leave the main road at Orsières and follow Champex-Lac.

It is also possible to leave the main road at Bovernier and go through Les Valettes but the road is narrow and very winding.

Free parking by the lake

By train to Orsières then by bus to Champex-Lac.
