    Magnificent route on the Severiano Ballesteros Golf, a legendary 18-hole course where the very famous Omega European Masters are held every year. This demanding and varied 6 km track welcomes you in an exceptional setting with a breathtaking view of the Valais Alps.

    Starting from the XIX restaurant at Miedzor, whose terrace overlooks the golf, begin this lovely loop which enjoys significant sunshine and where you will also meet pedestrians enjoying the snow-covered golf.

    Arriving at the part of the golf called Snow Island, you discover a true paradise for children: ski slope for beginners, snowtubing, sledding, and the Maison de Bibi, which welcomes toddlers and offers them a multitude of free activities and animations. This is an opportunity to regain strength at the refreshment bar which also has a nice terrace.

    Then follow the end of Etang Long, particularly appreciated by skaters.  You arrive at Sporting, another restaurant with a well-exposed terrace. You just have to return to your starting point a few meters away.

    Author’s recommendation

    This route is perfectly suited for seasoned athletes as well as amateurs. 

    A connecting trail of about 2 km links the Golf course to that of La Moubra, joining the Briesses trail.
