How the day goes
Five moments, one day
The order matters: the ticket takes you up, the table keeps you there, the mountain does the rest.
Leaving Champéry
Show your confirmation at the cable car ticket office, open from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm. First cabin at 8.45 am, then every 30 minutes. Official timetable
Up to Le Chaudron
A 25-minute walk from Croix-de-Culet — or the Polaris option, our all-terrain vehicle, five people at a time.
At the table
The dish of the day, served facing the Dents Blanches. Chef Alexi builds it from the morning market.
Back to Croix-de-Culet
On foot by the same path, or by Polaris if you took the option.
Cable car down
Whenever suits you: last cabin at 4.45 pm, and until 5.15 pm in high season.
Between Croix-de-Culet and the refuge
On foot, or by Polaris
Twenty-five minutes on a mountain path is no small thing. We will come and fetch you if you prefer — and the ride is worth it.
25 minutes on foot
A mountain path from the cable car station to the refuge, and the same on the way back. Proper shoes are needed.
The Polaris option
Our all-terrain vehicle picks you up at the cable car station and brings you back. Five people at a time: it is an experience in itself, not a shuttle. Tick the box when booking.
- Up from Croix-de-Culet11h45
- Back to Croix-de-Culet14h45
Take a cabin before 11.30 am to make the pick-up.
On site
And while the coffee cools
Nobody is in a hurry to go back down. There is plenty to let the afternoon drift, at 1,818 m.
The playground
The children keep busy while you finish your dessert, in full view from the terrace.
The pétanque court
Boules available at the bar. The game is played at 1,818 m, with the Dents Blanches as referee.
