Sentier des alpages de Vionnaz
A circular alp-to-alp route above Torgon, the trail passes through Alp Eusin — known for its goat cheese — and Alp Chétillon, with views stretching over Lake Geneva to the Dents du Midi and Mont Blanc. The return leg crosses a suspension bridge over the Avançon river, and with luck, the region's emblematic mouflon may appear along the way.
