Les Cerniers – Valleys & must-sees

From the covered bridge of Monthey, gain altitude thanks to a wide road that climbs gently. After a few hundred meters, two signposts offer you two route options. Continue straight and follow the directions towards Les Cerniers. Four markers like this will guide you throughout your ascent and inform you about your progress. Continue your climb until you reach the village of Les Giettes, less than two kilometers from the summit, and turn right to tackle the last meters of elevation gain, which will reward you with an exceptional viewpoint. Between lake, mountain, and larch forest, you will find a fantastic village built of white domes arranged as luxurious rooms in the midst of nature.

On the A9 motorway, take exit 19 Bex, Monthey South and follow the signs to reach the town of Monthey.

Take the train (SBB) to Monthey station, then change to a bus that takes you to the start of your route. From the station, you can also choose to reach the start directly by bike.

Many parking spaces are available near the Philippe-Pottier stadium or near the tennis courts, a few meters from the start of the route.
