Chemin du Bienheureux Maurice Tornay
This point-to-point route was created in 2020 to honour the Blessed Maurice Tornay, a native of La Rosière, and features seven educational panels along the way.
-
Bémont > Champex d'en Bas
The trail descends through the lowest "floor" of Champex, passing pretty chalets and open meadows with views toward the Dents du Midi before plunging into a long stretch of forest. It rounds out a trio of local routes — alongside the Champex-Lac marsh trail and the Champex d'en Haut trail — each exploring a distinct layer of this alpine landscape.
