The resort has arguably the most stunning views in the Portes du Soleil. Up top the Mont Blanc chain stands proud alongside many 4000 metre’s peaks in the Valais, but so too does Lake Geneva, which appears tantalisingly close.Imagine skiing with the lake's blue hues below only to turn a corner and be confronted by a full-on view of Europe's highest mountain... it's only possible in Torgon.Author: portesdusoleil Tags: ski snowboard torgon swiss alps resort Posted: 18 November 2009 Rating: 0.0 Votes: 0

Imposing views are the stuff of legend in Champéry. With the sheer peaks of the Dents du Midi dominating one side of the valley, on the other, there's an equally mind-boggling sight that's famous the world over.From the village centre take the cable car to the top; before you know it you'll be at the foot of the 'le Mur Suisse'...the Swiss Wall, also know as Chavanette. Some conquer the beast but others turn back, tempted no doubt by the delightful Grand Paradis circuit. In Champéry you choose the kind of skiing you want to do.Author: portesdusoleil Tags: ski snowboard resort switzerland champery swiss alps Posted: 17 November 2009 Rating: 0.0 Votes: 0
