Set off on a striking climb full of contrasts. This route starts close to Monthey town centre, beside the old, wooden-covered bridge built in 1809. Begin your climb up the hillside, gradually leaving the urban environment behind you, to reach the village of Choëx where the road winds through forests and clearings. At Les Giettes, you will need to turn off to the right and follow the signs for Les Cerniers where your arrival will be accompanied by a spectacular view of the mountains and Lake Geneva.
