How it works
Please use this website and the information it contains with care, as this is a project under construction.+
The tracks should be correct, and it is possible for you to geolocate yourself during your trip. If you have any suggestions, you can point them out in the form at the bottom of the description. Always pay attention, however, to where you are, the path and local signs. In the mountains, safety must always come first.
Places where water is accessible are marked, e.g. where fountains can be found. Water is not always drinkable: get informations on the spot. Also take advantage of the descriptions on historical heritage and viewpoints.
Use the correct equipment, with the appropriate protective tools, and if you feel like it, hire a guide or mountain bike instructor.
The site is a web app, which can be used on different platforms, PCs, tablets and smartphones. Its use is intuitive. You can download the tracks, you can choose the language, zoom on the map, and expand on the descriptions of points of interest.
The site is also useful for planning trips and excursions, because it allows you to assess distances, height differences, durations, stopping points and elements of interest, even before visiting the location.
For the time being, as a pilot project, we have mapped out 9 routes, all starting from Brusson. You can also organise them differently, choosing segments, or reversing the directions.
If you have any suggestions or evaluations, please always complete the form at the bottom of the description.
2 routes have 'easy' status
- The first, which is very easy and flat, goes from Extrepriéraz to Brusson, but can obviously be walked in the opposite direction
- The second is longer and goes as far as Col d'Arlaz
3 routes have the qualification of medium difficulty
- 2 go up from Brusson towards the Arp refuge and the Palasinaz lakes
- 1 from Brusson goes to Col de Joux, then up to Champoluc and back down to Brusson
1 route has the sport qualification (difficult)
- It is a loop, from Brusson to Salomon to Extrepiéraz and finally to Brusson
3 routes are instead dedicated to cycle tourism, they have longer distances and are loops
- One goes from Brusson to the Col di Joux, passing then the Col Tzecore, reaching Challand-Saint-Anselme and finally climbing up to Brusson
- The longer one explores the valley floor: it goes from Brusson to Challand-Saint-Victor to the Villa Lake, reaches Saint-Vincent, climbs up to Col de Joux and returns to Brusson
- Finally, there is the cyclotour to the upper part of the valley, from Brusson to Antagnod and up to Saint-Jacques at the head of the valley, then back down to Champoluc to finally reach Brusson.
In short, have fun and thank you for your contribution
