The Resort is situated at an altitude of 1,600 metres which ensures a good covering of snow for the season.

Champoussin is one of the very ski resorts which offer doorstep skiing, simply put your ski on and way to go. It is hard to find a lift queue in this area and the skiing in the Portes du Soleil ski area provides a vast variety of pistes and off piste for all levels of skiers.
