Just got back from 4 days in Champousin. Great skiing but a very quite village. The resort was full of Dutch people (there is nothing wrong with Dutch people!) and the hotel we were staying in was known as 'Little Holland'. Not exactly a ski in / out resort but only a short walk to the slopes. I would not recommend this place for total beginners. There are some lovely easy blue runs but steep access to these via those horrible 'T' bar lifts would make it a challenge. Good access from Champoussin to the whole of the Portes du Soleil area, right over to Les Gets. We took a day touring to Les Gets and it was a fast run through Avoriaz but really slow through Morzine, using a bus and a walk. Then big queues to get up through Morzine and then long delay in Les Gets when the main lift broke, leaving hundreds of people clambering for the old bubble lift.
The Hospital du Chablais was fantastic, as we found out, after my mate stashed it big time on the black run going down into Champoussin. Quick easy helicopter ride from the slope to the hospital. Look out for his helmet cam video on You Tube!
Anyway, after rambling on for a while. I would probably not stay in Champoussin again but would stay over in Avoriaz. Same big area to ski but better facilities and atmosphere.
