Bisse de Champex-Lac

Description

This trail is also known as the “sentier du petit ruisseau”. It is believed to date back to the 15th century and to feed Lake Champex from the Vallon d’Arpette. Take the bus to Champex-télé, then pass under the ski lift and enter the forest to enjoy the coolness of the area and a magnificent view of the Dents du Midi! After an hour’s climb, you reach the Vallon d’Arpette. At the end of the climb, you can take a short break at the Relais d’Arpette, which serves homemade local and seasonal specialities.
