Why choose Champex-Lac for a family outing?
Champex-Lac first captivates with its scenery: a mountain lake with calm waters, framed by forests and peaks, inviting strolls and relaxation. It's the kind of place where children can run, observe, and marvel without much organization needed: nature does a good part of the work.
To add a dose of adventure and discovery, the Champex-Lac artillery fort opens a surprising chapter of Swiss military history. Hidden in the mountain, this former fortified structure fascinates children with its atmosphere of galleries and secret passages, while awakening their curiosity about the strategic role of the Alps. A visit that breaks from the usual outings and leaves a lasting impression.
Between the soothing air of the lake and the mystery of the fort, Champex-Lac offers a beautiful contrast: the refreshing open air on one side, an exploration full of surprises on the other. Enough to create a family day that is both relaxing and memorable, in the heart of a preserved Val Ferret.
