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).

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.

Along the route, you pass several mountain streams that carve the steep slope and sometimes tumble down small waterfalls. Sometimes you can also see parts of old wooden water pipes that once supplied water to meadows and towns in the lower Alps. Today, these water pipes have largely fallen into disrepair and are only intact in a few places.

welcome cooling on the way

Nice to look at. But the hiking trail is not without its challenges

Located in the shade and beautiful in colder temperatures

Definitely worthwhile: a detour to the Oratoire and the waterfalls. The path is a bit tricky from above, but from below it is very nicely secured and developed.

Along the entire route you pass several mountain streams that cut into the steep slope and occasionally cascade down over small cascades. Occasionally you can also see parts of the old wooden water pipes that in the past supplied the lower alpine meadows and towns with water.
