Hauts de Crans Bike

Starting from the Maison du Tourisme, the route follows the road west towards lac Grenon, easy to spot thanks to the large CRANS MONTANA letters on its shore. Around the middle of the lake, the route takes the road climbing up to the right. The ascent begins gradually, first skirting the woodland before entering the forest, with a steady gradient that makes it easy to settle into a comfortable riding rhythm.

The trail then reaches lac de Chermignon, the first highlight of the loop, before continuing towards Arnouva on wide, accessible tracks, just what you would expect from an easy yet varied mountain bike route. The section through Arnouva feels more open, with lovely views across the surrounding slopes and peaks.

From there, the route continues through the forest towards Vermala, then returns to the resort via the Route de Vermala. The descent leads down to the roundabout, where you take the final exit to follow the Route du Rawyl, then pass through Ycoor before arriving back at the starting point at the Maison du Tourisme.

This mountain bike loop stands out for its accessibility, varied setting and well-balanced mix of effort, scenery and pure riding pleasure. It is an ideal route for exploring the heights of Crans-Montana by bike without taking on anything too demanding.
