Royal Alpage Club

The Resort & Its Setting

Royal Alpage Club is an independent timeshare resort in Champoussin, a small alpine village in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. It isn't part of a large hotel chain — ownership here is tied directly to the resort itself, with RCI affiliation giving owners a way to trade their week for stays elsewhere. The setting is classic high-altitude Swiss terrain: steep pastures, timber-and-stone architecture, and mountain views that change character completely between winter and summer.

Champoussin and the Surrounding Area

Champoussin sits within the wider Swiss Alps, a region built around outdoor life in every season. Winter brings snow sports and the kind of crisp mountain scenery that draws skiers back year after year; summer shifts the focus to hiking trails, mountain biking routes and simply being outdoors at altitude. The village itself keeps a quiet, local character rather than the bustle of a major resort town, which suits owners who prefer their mountain weeks away from the crowds. French is the everyday language of the region, so a few basic phrases go a long way, though resort staff are generally used to English-speaking guests.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Royal Alpage Club and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because Royal Alpage Club is an independent resort, resale isn't processed through a big-brand points system. Instead, any transfer of ownership typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management, who will confirm the administrative process on their end. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth asking the resort directly for two things: the current transfer or resale fee, and the current annual maintenance fee, since these aren't published figures and will affect what a buyer is willing to pay. A buyer taking over a resale week should also confirm in writing exactly what transfers with the unit — the usage week or points allocation and RCI exchange eligibility — and what doesn't, such as any loyalty extras tied to the original purchase.

If RCI affiliation matters to your buyer, it's worth noting that Royal Alpage Club is RCI-affiliated, so a resale buyer can typically continue depositing their week into the RCI exchange system, subject to RCI's own membership and exchange terms.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Anyone renting or buying a week here should plan around the season that suits their activities — winter for alpine sports, summer for hiking and mountain exploration — since the resort's appeal shifts noticeably between the two. RCI exchange members should check availability well ahead of time, as alpine weeks can be booked early by other members. Pack for mountain conditions regardless of season, as weather at altitude can change quickly. Switzerland's public transport network is well developed, so it's worth checking rail and bus connections from major Swiss cities before finalising travel dates.
