Le Chemin des 700 ans

The route starts gently at Le Châble (821 m) and takes you through the typical villages of Charançon, Cotterg, Montagnier, Champsec, Versegères and Prarreyer. Along the way, you'll pass through a variety of landscapes - lush green pastures, shady forests and charming hamlets - before climbing gently to Bruson via Le Sappey. It's a beautiful, accessible and rejuvenating loop, ideal for a half-day getaway.

Created in 1991 to mark the 700th anniversary of the Swiss Confederation, the 700 Years Trail combines the pleasure of gentle exercise with a wealth of cultural attractions. Along the way, you'll discover the open-air exhibition ‘Les Secrets du Val de Bagnes’, a series of large-format photographs born of encounters between eleven artists and the people of the valley.

Through these poetic and authentic images, forgotten knowledge, natural symbols and living traditions are revealed: medicinal plants, the language of the trees, cup stones, gestures handed down from generation to generation... A different look at the valley, between memory and wonder.

Please take the time to assess your physical condition and abilities. Use of the various routes is always at your own risk.
