This easy, blue trail is a 15.3 km loop with 500 m climbing.
Visitor NotificationFrom approximately 31st August to 20th November 2026, the access road to Grand-Paradis will be closed to all traffic due to turbining works. This route is still accessible, via the marked detours. During this period, cyclists are exceptionally allowed to use the Chemin des Journelles or the Chemin des Poussettes (a pedestrian path — please dismount and walk your bike).
Starting from Champéry, head towards the neighbouring village of Val-d’Illiez, following the Vièze river partway. On the outskirts of Val-d’Illiez, you’ll start your return to Champéry by climbing towards the Frassenaye waterfall and the Cantine Les Rives restaurant—overlooking the spectacular Galerie Défago cliff hike. The loop finishes in Grand Paradis.
A variant is available to extend the route as far as Troistorrents (see piste map or GPX route below).
