Champery unfolded as an exhilarating journey! Our group embraced the daring Galeria Défago trail, a heart-pounding adventure set against the breathtaking backdrop of sheer cliffs. While it promises thrills, especially for those with little explorers in tow, the trail ensures safety, provided the kiddos stick close and stay within the protective embrace of the path.
Before embarking on this cliffside trail, we immersed ourselves in the Organic Adventure Park, a whimsical realm of fun obstacles intertwined between towering trees. It's a playground for both the young and the young at heart, setting the tone for the epic adventure that lay ahead.
Here's a nugget of wisdom for savvy travelers: If you opt for an overnight stay in a hotel or the campgrounds, you unlock a treasure chest of perks, including a lift pass that encompasses transportation within the village, the gondola's, as well as exclusive local discounts. It's the kind of hospitality that turns a visit into an unforgettable experience.
After completing the cliffside trail, we made our way to the village for a quick lunch. Following that, we started our journey via cable car and chair lifts, crossing into France—a transition that took approximately 45 minutes from our starting point in Champery. Upon arrival, we savored refreshing drinks at a mountain restaurant while marveling at the breathtaking views. The children were overflowing with excitement at the prospect of adding another country to their list, and they were fascinated by the unique means of transportation that allowed us to reach the country where the legendary Messe used to play.
As the day concluded, we embraced the chill of a cold plunge in the waterfall near our campsite, tucked at the end of the valley. Champery, with its daring trails, treetop escapades, and refreshing natural retreats, isn't just a destination—it's a complete immersion into the heart of adventure.
