Col du Tronc

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col du Tronc can be taken with the Col du Lein and Col des Planches. However, one should not have an allergy to long gravel passages;) This one can be driven on with a racing bike.

Col du Lein

Highlight • Mountain Pass

A pleasant, grassy mountain pass, with spectacular views of the Valais mountains. The pass is pastoral and synonymous with the typically Swiss mountain terrain. This pass is connected to many popular areas by a variety of trails, making it an excellent place for all types of walks and cyclists.

Great gravel road

Highlight • Trail

A tough climb, but a wonderful descent if you take the road up from Vollèges before joining the dirt. From there it’s a really nice stretch all the way to Le Châble.

La Châble

Highlight • Settlement

Village at the foot of the winter sports resorts, connected to Verbier and Bruson by cable cars. It is an excellent starting point for exploring the surrounding landscapes.
