Hiking
Discover the Swiss Alps on foot
Champéry is a gateway to some of the most breathtaking hiking routes in Switzerland. Surrounded by the majestic Dents du Midi and part of the vast Portes du Soleil region, this area offers over 800 km of marked trails, ranging from easy strolls to full-day alpine adventures.
Whether you’re looking for a peaceful walk through wildflower meadows, a family-friendly loop, or a challenging summit hike, there’s a route for every level — all immersed in stunning natural beauty.
DIFFICULTY LEVELS – UNDERSTANDING T1 TO T6
To help you choose the right hike, Switzerland uses a clear trail grading system from T1 to T6. Here’s what it means, in simple terms:
-
T1 – Easy: Well-marked paths, mostly flat or gently sloping. Suitable for beginners and families. No special equipment needed.
-
T2 – Moderate: Slightly steeper, may include uneven ground or rocky paths. Basic hiking shoes recommended.
-
T3 – Challenging: Steep or narrow trails, some exposure, and hands may be needed for balance. Good footwear and sure-footedness required.
-
T4 – Demanding: Technical mountain hiking with exposed sections and simple climbing. Used by experienced hikers.
-
T5 – Very Demanding: Routes with exposed, difficult terrain, requiring excellent navigation, mountain experience, and possibly the use of hands or ropes.
-
T6 – Alpine: Not marked paths, high mountain terrain, often off-trail. For expert mountaineers only, with full gear and advanced skills.
Each hike listed on this page will include its T-level, so you can choose the adventure that fits your level and comfort.

If you're in Champéry, you have to check out Experience! These guys know how to make your time in the Alps even better. Whether you're looking for an adventure or just a cool place to hang out, they’ve got you covered.
Now they've opened The Hub, and it's the perfect spot to chill after a day on the slopes. Super cozy, great vibes, and the best place to grab a coffee or a beer with friends. The staff? Absolutely top-notch—friendly, welcoming, and always up for a good chat.
Highly recommend stopping by—trust me, you won’t regret it!
The service was a high standard and he went above and beyond by delivering the boot back to our hotel.
