2024
Welcome to the Pays du St-Bernard 2<br />
An authentic alpine area<br />
In a privileged natural Alpine setting that is almost perfectly preserved, the<br />
St-Bernard region offers a wide range of sports and cultural activities.<br />
In summer, there is something that will appeal to every hiker - educational<br />
paths, mountain huts, alpine lakes, nature reserves, walks with St-Bernard<br />
dogs or treks over several days - all will brighten up your holidays, right up to<br />
October when our forests - which are amongst Switzerland’s largest - attire in<br />
their most beautiful colours.<br />
Don’t hesitate to enhance your stay with a visit to the Grand-St-Bernard<br />
Hospice Museum – one of the most visited in Valais, as well as to the Flore-Alpe<br />
botanical garden in Champex-Lac, one of the richest and most prestigious in<br />
the Alps, or to the old Champex-Lac Artillery Fort, for a journey in time through<br />
our Swiss history, or with the treetop walk at La Fouly for a moment of fun in<br />
the trees or with a dip in one of our swimming pools to freshen up.<br />
In winter, our charming resorts offer ski runs and freeride itinaries for all levels<br />
with spectacular panoramic views, cross country ski runs in breathtaking<br />
natural surroundings and snowshoe trails in the heart of our white forests.<br />
Proud of our region and of its local produce represented by the famous<br />
«Entremont basket», the people of the St-Bernard region keep a long list of<br />
traditions alive and well - all of which we invite you to become acquainted<br />
with.<br />
Welcome to the St-Bernard region !

Respect for nature 5<br />
Here are a few suggestions to look after and respect nature.<br />
1. Respect the restrictions<br />
Pay attention to the notice boards in the area.<br />
2. Use the existing paths and itineraries<br />
This helps protect the delicate biotopes of the fauna and flora. Don't trespass on<br />
private property and close gates behind you.<br />
3. Preserve the flora and nesting areas<br />
Follow the existing detours and don't go near the top of the rocks as these are fragile.<br />
Avoid rocks covered with dense vegetation, don't pick any plants in the crevices and<br />
stay well away from nesting areas in the cliffs.<br />
4. Keep climbing areas clean<br />
Take your rubbish away with you.<br />
5. Travel ecologically<br />
Take advantage of the numerous offers on public transport: www.cff.ch.<br />
6. Respect any restrictions on access or parking<br />
It is generally forbidden to drive along forest tracks. Avoid parking in unauthorized<br />
areas: this annoys farmers and land owners and can damage vegetation.<br />
7. Eat local produce and save water and energy<br />
Spending the night in the area and buying local produce helps support mountain<br />
regions and makes your climb eco-friendlier. Save water and energy in your<br />
accommodation: both are in limited supply!<br />
8. Keep dogs on a leash, especially in the forest<br />
Dogs love chasing wild animals, which puts them under a lot of stress.

Trail running destination 31<br />
The Verbier/Val de Bagnes and the Pays du Saint-Bernard regions offer about 20<br />
different itineraries to promote the trail running, this increasingly popular sport. The<br />
trails were selected by experienced trail runners with an in-depth knowledge of the<br />
sport and the region: Jules-Henri Gabioud, winner of the Tor des Géants in 2011 and<br />
runner-up in the PTL in 2019 and Emily Vaudan, 3rd place in the X-Alpine VSB trail.<br />
The different routes, which cover a total distance of 415km, with an ascending<br />
elevation of over 33,000m, allow you to discover the cultural and natural attractions<br />
of the region such as the Louvie lake, the Combe de l’A, the Catogne, the Corbassière<br />
glacier and the Mauvoisin dam. The degree of difficulty varies from those with<br />
less than 500m difference in elevation, ideal for beginners, to those covering a<br />
distance of over 20km, with up to 1,000m difference in elevation, which are perfect<br />
for experienced runners. The trails are accessible from April to October, depending<br />
on the altitude and degree of exposure. Detailed descriptions of each itinerary can<br />
be found on the Verbier/Val de Bagnes and Pays du Saint-Bernard tourist office<br />
websites. A brochure with a map is also available to assist in the planning of an outing<br />
in this extensive area.<br />

Treasure hunts 58<br />
Want to discover the villages of the Pays du St-Bernard in a fun way?<br />
Captain Saint-Bernard is the GREATEST of the pirates in the valley, his ship navigates<br />
the dangerous waters where he reigns terror! But he is no longer very young! He<br />
sometimes loses his head a little but SHH, you shouldn't tell him anything.<br />
Today he forgot the most important thing to him, the combination of his treasure chest!<br />
To do this, go to a tourist office to collect the different cards, each card opens a<br />
treasure chest. Then go find the answers in our villages and come back to one of our<br />
offices to perhaps succeed in opening the treasure...<br />
