For trail fans, the many mountain chains in the Portes du Soleil area present a real challenge. Experienced athletes will especially appreciate the routes that allow them to climb numerous passes and peaks across the border between Switzerland and France against an exceptional backdrop. The Pointe de Bellevue, which peaks at 2041 meters above sea level, offers a magnificent view of the surrounding mountain ranges and Lake Geneva. A panorama board allows you to admire the most beautiful peaks of the Alps, such as the Chablais massif, the Dents du Midi, Mont Blanc, and many other four-thousand-meter peaks.

Safety information
Use of the trail paths and information on this website is at your own risk. On-site conditions may cause changes to the route. Valais/Wallis Promotion assumes no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information on this website.
For all trails:
- Use only marked trail paths and follow all signs and instructions - for your own safety, for the protection of grazing animals, and in respect of wildlife.
- Close gates after passing through.
- Be considerate of other path users, plants, and animals.
For mountain trails:
- Bring extra sun protection. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, even on cloudy days.
- Plan your trail carefully: consider the required fitness level of all participants, weather forecasts, and seasonal conditions.
- Weather conditions can change rapidly and without warning in the mountains. Appropriate clothing and provisions (food and drink) are very important. In unstable weather, better turn back early.
- Inform your family about your trail route. Avoid being alone if possible.
- Observe warning signs about dangers at riverbanks, along watercourses below dams and reservoirs: water levels can rise quickly and without warning.
