The Hotel Suisse offers mountain or village views

The Swiss resort of Champry, roughly 1,000 metres up in the Swiss Alps in the French-speaking region of Valais, is best-known for winter skiing. But if you enjoy active holidays, it makes for a great summer destination too. It's just a two-hour train ride from Geneva, and from June through to September the snow-free, upper meadows of the Alps become a walkers' paradise, with miles of clearly marked, well-maintained routes.
