モンタナ-村の滝・トップ8

Not only is cycling prohibited here, but even carrying bicycles is prohibited. You are neither allowed to push nor carry your bike! Possibly even possessing a bicycle is a criminal offense. This isn't clearly indicated at the entrance; there's just a crossed-out biker on a bicycle. After pushing our bikes 2km and about 300 meters in elevation to the Col de Cou, we fell victim to state-sanctioned highway robbery and paid 50 CHF per person (July 30, 2025).

magnificent view of the lake and the surrounding mountains

Nice view. Hiking path goes along very steep steps. Hold on to the rope

Awesome view and experience but steep wooden stairs. Hold on to the rope

From here you have a fantastic view of the pristine Tièche valley. The valley is a small natural paradise with waterfalls, larch forests and preserved mountain pastures. Further down, the Tiéche flows into the Raspille, which also marks the linguistic border of the canton of Valais. Water from the Tièche is also transported to the vineyards around Crans-Montana via the old Suone de Tsittoret irrigation canal.

The Pichioc waterfall is a wonderful place. The waterfall itself is not too huge. The water is very cold and can be turbulent, so if you want to go into the river, cross with caution.
