A fabulous ride up (or down) through this river valley in the Val de Bagnes region. Your destination being the end of the road at the imposing Barrage de Mauvoisin.

The path through the gorge is short but spectacular.

Wonderful little gem! The Rue de la Cha provides an unpaved connection to Finhaut, which I even rode on my racing bike (but it's better to enjoy the stretch on foot). This makes a very nice round trip possible with the Forclaz!

This gravel path, once traveled by holiday pioneer Thomas Cook, served as a route for stagecoaches ascending this beautiful but remarkably steep valley. Although the era of stagecoaches has waned, enthusiasts now choose to travel this extraordinary route on foot or by bike. The trail offers a challenging but rewarding climb or an exhilarating descent, and best of all, it's suitable for gravel or XC biking, making it an ideal climb for all types of riders.

Truly spectacular gorges not far from the Zoo des Marécottes.

A gorge certainly worth seeing. In particular, the wooden walkways and stairs on the rock are impressive. You walk the gorge from bottom to top. Turning back doesn't make much sense because it's quite narrow. In other words, you go up once and then leave the gorge to hike down again via a forest path. Everyone has to decide for themselves whether it's worth 9 CHF...
