The higher road is pure Swiss &#8220;Chocolate Box&#8221; charm.The lower, newer, through road runs up to the Telepherique and takes care of the practicalities. Everything is within a fifteen minutes&#8217; walk.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tourism in Champery dates from 1857 and the Swiss Ski School in Champery was founded in 1932 making it one of the older ski resorts in Switzerland. Development has been pretty much continuous but, with one extraordinary exception, has been in complete sympathy with the architectural heritage.<\/p>\n<p>The non-profit Fondation du Patrimoine Champerolain, founded in 1933, works hard to maintain not only architectural heritage but also the cultural history. And the result is a ski resort that&#8217;s pleasant to wander around looking at the old and beautifully maintained wooden chalets. Ther are plenty of bars, restaurants, hotels and shops too but they also blend in seamlessly.<\/p>\n<p>Champery is not big; everything is within a 10 to 15 minute walk,\u00a0apart from the Grand Paradis chairlift which is well served by the free ski bus service. So park the car, if you have one, and stroll around. A good place to start is the fountain at the bottom of the village where the purity of the water is recorded for posterity in granite.<\/p>\n<p>If you take in the beauty of the clock tower, you might notice the clock strikes the hour five minutes early. Not quite the legendary Swiss time keeping accuracy! (Perhaps it&#8217;s the French influence.)<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-champery-apres-ski-bars-2\">Champery Apres Ski Bars<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The late afternoon and early evening apres ski scene in Champery is relatively quiet and relaxed, but this is compensated for by the bars and restaurants later in the evening.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As you come off the Telepherique, the Le Gueullhi and Le Jonquille just over the road are convenient for the day&#8217;s debrief on the huge distances you&#8217;ve covered. Just up the hill past the car park, Mitchell&#8217;s, with its four TV screens broadcasting in four languages and it&#8217;s modern d\u00e9cor is another apr\u00e8s ski spot. But it&#8217;s later when Champery comes into it&#8217;s own.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-champery-restaurants-3\">Champery Restaurants<\/h2>\n<p>The ubiquitous pizza is, of course, easy to find but the restaurants in Champery generally have seen the arrival of younger go-ahead chefs in recent years and c21 on the main street boasts a Michelin star.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Auberge Le Paradis<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 11 67<\/p>\n<p><strong>Caf\u00e9-Restaurant Le Nord<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 11 26<\/p>\n<p><strong>Restaurant L&#8217;Atelier Gourmand<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 11 26<\/p>\n<p><strong>Caf\u00e9-Restaurant Le Gueullhi<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 35 55<\/p>\n<p><strong>Caf\u00e9-Restaurant Le Vieux Chalet<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 19 74<\/p>\n<p><strong>Caf\u00e9-Restaurant Le National<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 11 30<\/p>\n<p><strong>Le Resto-Palladium<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 15 12<\/p>\n<p><strong>Caf\u00e9-restaurant Le Pub<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 15 32<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cantine des Rives<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 11 71<\/p>\n<p><strong>Caf\u00e9-Restaurant Le Mitchell&#8217;s<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 20 10<\/p>\n<p><strong>Restaurant Le Centre, c21<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 15 50<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cr\u00eaperie Chez Martine<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 14 56<\/p>\n<p><strong>Caf\u00e9-Restaurant Le Farinet<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 20 98<\/p>\n<p><strong>Restaurant Le Toupin<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 15 48<\/p>\n<p><strong>Restaurant Le Chaudron<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 21 52<\/p>\n<p><strong>Restaurant Chez Coquoz<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 12 55<\/p>\n<p><strong>Restaurant La Croix-de-Culet<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 23 34<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cantine Lapisa<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 36 43<\/p>\n<p><strong>Restaurant Le Plein Ciel<\/strong><br \/>\nT\u00e9l. 024 479 28 38<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-champery-other-activities-4\">Champery Other Activities<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Champery offers plenty of other activities, both indoors and out.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The ultra modern Palladium (a National Centre for Ice Sports) not only hosts major ice sports events but is also open for public use.
