Croix de Culet - Pointe de Ripaille - Lapisa - Croix de Culet
The Champéry cable-car whisks you effortlessly to the Croix de Culet, located at an altitude of 2,000 metres. As you leave the cable car arrival station, take a moment to admire the picturesque vista spread out before you, with the magnificent Dents du Midi and Dents Blanches mountain ranges creating a spectacular backdrop. Then, drawn by the chime of distant cowbells, take the winding path that leads through sunny pastures, to the quaint Lapisa and La Pierre alpine dairies.
Good to know:
A steep, but short detour will take you up to the Pointe de Ripaille, at 1,927m, for a panoramic view of the Dents du Midi and Dents Blanches massifs. If you're looking for an easier stroll, just skip this detour and head straight to the alpages.
Below the Lapisa alpage, you will find a wildlife observatory built by the Association of Friends of the Trails of the Illiez Valley to enhance the Tour of the Illiez Valley.
