The Villages Bike route takes you on a journey to discover the hidden treasures of the region’s villages. From the ruins of the Château d’Ayent to the peaceful Bisse de Tsintres, passing through Arbaz, Blignou, Botyre, La Place, and Saxonne – it’s a true open-air tour. An enchanting route that alternates between authentic hamlets, villages, and preserved landscapes.
Turn-by-turn directions
You start at Lake Moubra, then continue to the villages of Randogne and Mollens and finally arrive above Venthône. In Darnona, you can interrupt the ride and load your bike onto the cogwheel railway to return to Crans-Montana. Then you continue west towards Chermignon-d’en-Bas, to Lens with a climb on the "des Bouillettes" path at the foot of the Christ-Roi hill, from where you continue to Lake Louché. The return to Crans-Montana is above Icogne, the westernmost village from Crans-Montana. From the Maiensässen, the climb back to the resort demands quite an effort. You can relax at Lake Miriouges, in the heart of the forest, before returning to Moubra. This route includes all the ingredients of a proper bike ride: technically demanding descents, various types of paths, … all in a very diverse environment. The route can be done in one go (23 km) or in several stages.
