    Tips and suggestions

    Lifts, access to Cry d'Er
    You can book your daily lift pass directly online. The Crans-Cry d'Er line runs from June to October. Timetables are available online.

    Roadbook

    The Chetzeron Flowtrail starts at the top of Cry d'Er, close to the arrival point of the Crans-Cry d'Er gondola. From the start, the route heads towards Chetzeron and crosses high mountain meadows over mostly open terrain.

    Over around 1.7 km, the trail descends gradually by about 150 metres. The route has been specially built to offer a smooth, consistent surface, with no roots or rocky sections. It links turns and changes of direction while keeping a moderate, steady gradient.

    Throughout the descent, the open terrain reveals views of the Tseuzier Dam, the Rhône Valley and the surrounding alpine peaks. The trail remains accessible to different levels of rider, with speed easy to adapt according to experience.

    The Chetzeron Flowtrail eventually reaches Chetzeron, at around 2,110 metres above sea level, close to the Chetzeron hotel. From there, you can continue the descent on the blue Merbé Downhill trail or the black Chetzeron Downhill trail.
