Mayens-de-Chamoson Tour

Closed between Patiers and Parmey due to forest rejuvenation works being carried out by the forest management service until further notice.

This complete route combines forest roads, technical paths, dizzying sections, steep ascents of over 20%, and a magnificent panoramic view. Explore Ardève and Mayens-de-Chamoson.

From the village center, follow the Bellevue path connecting Ovronnaz to Mayens-de-Chamoson. Head towards Ardève, the highest point of the tour, along the ridge through various challenging sections equipped with chains.

At the summit, you'll enjoy a magnificent view over the entire Rhône plain and the Valaisan Alps.

Retrace your steps for about 200 meters before descending along the Lachat forest road for 4 kilometers, then ascend towards Mayens-de-Chamoson to the hamlet of Patiers.

Next, follow a forest path towards Tourbillon and then return to Ovronnaz.
