Via Alpina Stage 78: Col du Demècre - Vernayaz
From Col du Demècre, the route passes through the Portail de Fully and over a ridge that opens views across both lower and upper Valais, before a steep descent toward Champex and Dorénaz — with an aerial cable car as an alternative for that punishing section. The stage finishes by crossing the Rhone plateau to reach Pissevache and Vernayaz.

Tour de la Vallée du Trient
A five-day loop threading through both Switzerland and France, the route takes in the wild gorges of Trento, Trège, and Dailley alongside the reservoirs of Salanfe and Emosson — where dinosaur footprints survive near the water's edge — with the Trient Glacier and the Mont Blanc massif commanding the skyline throughout.

Tour des Deux Rives

Tour des Dents du Midi
A multi-day loop around a 3-kilometre-long massif of seven summits all exceeding 3,000 metres — dominated by the Haute Cime at 3,257 m — the route threads through craggy passes, crystalline alpine lakes, glaciers, waterfalls, and forests while the jagged silhouette of the Dents du Midi looms overhead, visible from the Illiez and Rhone valleys alike. Inaugurated in 1972, this pioneer of Valais walking tours traces its roots to a mountain running race that shaped the path for nearly 40 years.
