Villages Bike
Crans-Montana–Crans-Montana
This 23km mountain bike circuit introduces you to the villages located on the Crans-Montana hillsides and their curious features. On the programme: Venthône castle, Lens church and the Christ-Roi.
The itinerary proposes a gentle approach to our villages and their surroundings, at your own rhythm. Departure is from Lake Moubra, then the route takes you towards the villages of Randogne and Mollens to arrive above Venthône. At Darnona, if you want to break the journey, you can head back up to the resort by taking your bike in the funicular.
Next, back to the west, towards Chermignon-d’en-Bas, then Lens with an uphill on the Chemin des Bouillettes to the foot of the Christ-Roi hill which you leave to reach the Louché Lake. The return to Crans-Montana is via the upper reaches of Icogne, the most westerly village in Crans-Montana. From the ‘mayens’, the uphill to the resort requires quite some effort. You can rest at Lake Miriouges in the heart of the forest, before returning to the Moubra.
This route combines all the ingredients of a real bike ride: technical downhills, different types of paths…all in very diverse surroundings. This excursion can either be done in one go (23 km) or in sections.
