A nice loop that will make you discover different roads and paths on the coast and the lake of Champex. We also enter the beginning of the Val Ferret, which may give you the desire to go even higher in this beautiful valley.

A loop that will allow us to discover different paths and villages of our region. The idea here is really to take time and pleasure without necessarily wanting to go from a point A to a point B as quickly as possible. Most of the paths and dirt roads are very little used and very pleasant to ride.
Author’s recommendation
The lake of Champex is a must-see place in the region. In autumn, it's just magical...

The itinerary takes several different roads and paths, so it is important to import the track to not get lost. Afterwards, it is possible to follow different paths to have more or less the same loop, so no stress if you pass another road.
Starting from the station of Orsières or join first the village of la garde to return then on a splendid way which was formerly a bisse. Once in Champex, enjoy the lake and its surroundings, the track takes you up a little in the forest to have a unique view on the lake.
On the way back down, we will dive into the beginning of the Val Ferret to prolong the pleasure. On this loop, two portages are necessary on small paths, each one lasts only 50-100m and allows us to join other routes.
