June — September
Mountain biking, hiking, rafting on the Dranse, paragliding
and festivals in the Abondance valley.
Summer transforms the Abondance valley. The slopes give way to a carpet of wild flowers, the mountain pastures come alive and the trails open up as far as the eye can see.
The ski lifts serve mountain bikers, and the Dranse rushes through the valley for white water sports. From the Fantasticable to the via ferrata, the valley leaves no room for boredom.
The mountain in all its glory
Europe's largest mountain biking area: 600+ km of trails, 5 bike parks, the Pass'Portes du Soleil MTB and 20+ lifts open in summer.
From Lake Arvouin (30 min, family-friendly) to Mont de Grange (2,432 m), trails for all levels in a breathtaking setting of wild flowers and alpine wildlife.
