Bisses

Bisse de Saxon

It conveyed water from the Printse as far as Saxon, across the forests and alpine pastures of the hamlets of Nendaz, Isérables, Riddes and Saxon with their wooden chalets. Its operation required several watchmen who in turn needed huts and warning hammers. . . Maintaining the channel was a very laborious task, so its operation was discontinued. One of its huts, the Bourlâ, is still in an excellent state of preservation.

Flowtrail La Tzoumaz

Savoleyres is the setting for the 8th downhill trail of the Verbier Bikepark: a scenic and invigorating run that twists down towards La Tzoumaz. Named Chôtatai (which means “Sit down!” in local dialect), the run is suitable for all kinds of bikers, thanks to its gentle gradient, and promises a fluid ride. The starting point is located below the summit station of the La Tzoumaz gondola; the trail, graded easy, leads all the way down to the roundabout at Les Etablons. The run measures 5 km with a vertical drop of 680 metres, and offers sweeping views of the Rhône valley and the surrounding mountains.

Sentier des Sens, La Tzoumaz

The “Path of the Senses” is a fun 5.5-kilometre trail through the forest at La Tzoumaz, accessible for people with reduced mobility as well as families with pushchairs. Refurbished during summer 2020, it offers an informative and entertaining experience around the theme of the five senses. Along the route, visitors can take part in games related to the senses: visually impaired walkers, for example, can touch and smell the plants along the way. Young explorers will enjoy playing with Squizy the squirrel along the path with the help of the “Quiz of the 5 senses” adventure booklet. Visitors can also follow the Crayon Vert (“Green Crayon”) route, with tips on how to draw in the open air: details from the Maison de la Forêt (“Forest House”). Picnic spots in the heart of the forest provide idyllic settings for a break; the path also offers an attractive start to a longer walk along the “Bisse de Saxon” historical irrigation channel.

Toboggan run La Tzoumaz

This piste is located in the area of Savoleyres and is one of the longest sledge run in French-speaking Switzerland. Thrills are guaranteed on this run between Savoleyres and La Tzoumaz which has a drop in altitude of 711metres – thanks to hairpin bends in the middle of the forest. From La Tzoumaz, take the cable car to Savoleyres, 2,354 metres above sea level. Enjoy the superb view of the Rhône Valley and the Valais mountains before leaving the upper station and taking the piste leading to the village of La Tzoumaz with its traditional Mayens huts. A long, snowy boulevard with hairpin bends that passes through the forest... this piste promises plenty of thrills! It is suitable for the whole family, although better suited to those who are less easily scared. It is up to you to decide: the more intrepid will choose to tackle the descent in a more competitive manner, whereas others will prefer to take their time to admire the beautiful surroundings!

Secured freeride runs

Vallon d’Arbi

This region is famous for its many freeride options – thanks not least to the Vallon d’Arbi. You access the start from the bottom of the piste to Lac des Vaux, on the left: it is easy to spot thanks to the orange netting that shows whether the itinerary is officially open or closed. Before tackling the run, it is best to make sure that the gondola in La Tzoumaz is running for the return to Verbier.
