The route along the former Suone of Chervé with its unique dry stone walls promises a beautiful high-altitude hike. Along the way, the view opens increasingly on the blue water of the Cleuson reservoir and the impressive dam. At the summit of the hike, be surprised by the beauty and colors of the landscape. Before returning to Siviez, visit the charming mountain chapel of St. Barthélémy in its delightful alpine setting.
Turn-by-turn directions
From the mountain station of the Combatseline chairlift in Siviez, follow the marked trail along the former Suone of Chervé to above the reservoir of Cleuson.

After passing through part of the forest, follow a small stream near the Alpe of Tortin, then return to the starting point in Siviez.
