One of the most popular routes in central Valais: from Crans-Montana to the Merdechon mountain pasture and Cabane de la Tièche, then on the La Tièche plateau and to Leuk/Susten on varied, technical trails.

Moderately difficult technically and physically, this itinerary crosses the sunny Crans-Montana and Leuker Sonnenberge region. It is a varied route that starts below the Petit Mont Bonvin and leads to the idyllic alpine pasture of Merdechon and then to the Cabane de la Tièche. The La Tièche plateau is the first highlight as well as the highest point of the ride, at almost 2,000 metres. A little action awaits you on the way down to the winemaking village of Varen, where you have to cross a stream bed, master rocky passages, winding sections through forests and a few ramps. Before arriving in Susten, be sure to stop for a culture break and visit to Leuk (Loèche) Castle. The glass dome, designed by architect Mario Botta, is the crowning glory. Take the Leuk-Leukerbad bus line to get to the thermal resort at Leukerbad.

Option: if you want to add a little extra elevation to your day, do a few runs on the Leukerbad flowtrail.

Consiglio dell'autore

The Cabane de la Tièche is an ideal place to stop before starting the descent to Varen.

Arrivo

Leuk/Susten

Direzioni da seguire

Cette étape débute au sommet du funiculaire de Crans-Montana. Après une courte descente sur la route principale, bifurquez à gauche en direction d’Aminona et entamez votre ascension vers le vallon de la Tièche. Juste avant la gare de télécabines des Violettes, prenez la route qui monte à gauche et passez sous les cabines. Rejoignez ensuite l’alpage de Plumachit, puis poursuivez votre route vers le hameau de Colombire. Prenez ensuite le chemin en terre qui monte à gauche. La pente s’intensifie pour déboucher sur un joli point de vue au milieu des alpages. Au total, il y a environ 500 mètres de dénivelé à franchir pour atteindre le point culminant à la cabane de la Tièche. Traversez des pâturages avant de gagner un chemin de randonnée légèrement en pente qui mène vers un ruisseau que vous traversez. Un singletrail varié et technique, avec divers obstacles et un terrain abrupt, traverse des forêts de mélèzes pour revenir au versant sud, où une nouvelle montée vous attend. Suivez ensuite le sentier en légère descente à travers la forêt de Flottuwald en direction de Varen et continuez au-dessus du village viticole jusqu'à la gare de Leuk, où vous prenez le bus postal pour rejoindre la station de Leukerbad.
