Path along the banks of the Dranse from Abondance to Châtel

This route is reserved for walkers and cyclists. Starting from Abondance, you will follow the Dranse river through the hamlet of Richebourg. You'll pass close to the village center of La Chapelle d'Abondance, where you can take a gourmet break. Continue along the river, below the village of Châtel, before reaching Le Linga and Tré-les-Pierres. With little change in altitude, you can walk along the river from the hamlets on part of the trail, cross ecologically interesting environments, take in the riverside scenery, discover the local heritage... in short, see the Abondance valley in a different light. During the summer school vacations, you can return to Abondance with the line C shuttle bus, which makes several stops in the valley. This shuttle runs every day at set times and accepts mountain bikes. The pedestrian-cycling itinerary along the banks of the Dranse is accessible to all: families, sports enthusiasts, children, the elderly and baby carriages. To ensure that all users live together in harmony, please keep your dogs on a leash and pick up after them, keep your speed under control when cycling, and keep and sort your garbage.
