Small village in the Swiss Alps which is worth the detour, the landscape is breathtaking!

The climb from Orsières to Ferret is highly recommended. You need around 18km to overcome a good 800 metres in altitude. There are always flatter sections where you can relax. The further you drive into the valley, the smaller the road becomes and the more breathtaking the nature. A trip up to the Val Ferret is particularly worthwhile in autumn. That's when the larches shine wonderfully golden. Together with the snow-covered peaks and the blue sky, this creates an incredible natural spectacle.
