Description
Champoussin
Champoussin is a small alpine village in the Swiss canton of Valais, one of the four resorts, alongside Champéry, Les Crosets and Morgins, that make up the Portes du Soleil's bikepark.ch network. Champoussin has no graded or lift-served trails of its own, but it sits right beside the lift-served bike park based in Les Crosets, putting green through black grade riding within easy reach.

The Trails
- Champoussin does not have its own downhill runs, chairlift-served descent or pump track. The graded bikepark.ch trail network, spanning green through black, is split across Champéry, Les Crosets and Morgins.
- See the Les Crosets, Champéry and Morgins listings for the full graded trail list.
- Above the village, the Aiguille des Champeys chairlift climbs to a high ridge at 2,019m with views of the Dents du Midi. A singletrack and forest doubletrack route has historically dropped from here towards Les Crosets and on to Champéry, but this lift doesn't currently appear on the official mountain bike uplift list, so treat it as a pedal-up route rather than a lift-served one, and download a route or use GPS navigation before you set off.
Getting Here
Park at the main car park at the entrance to Champoussin, next to the Aiguille des Champeys chairlift base station and the "Champoussin-Télésiège" bus stop (CH-1873 Champoussin). Les Crosets and its lift-served trails are a short ride away. Champéry and Morgins are reachable by road or via the connecting lift network.
