Saint-Maurice

Highlight • Settlement

The town of Saint-Maurice, located on the Rhône at the end of Lake Geneva, is tucked away at the foot of a looming rock face and is known for its rich past. The place, inhabited since classical antiquity, grew into a stronghold of Christianity at the end of the 3rd century AD. The abbey, the oldest monastery in the Avondland, which has been inhabited since the beginning of its existence, is now home to about forty Augustinians and a renowned school, with about a thousand students from all over French Switzerland.

Monthey to Vernayaz with Stop at Buvette du Bois Noir

Highlight • Trail

Wonderful ride done with an inexperienced person.
the climb of the slopes is a little difficult but it is the only steep part.

first part of Collonge to Vernaya on gravel road (but very passable) the return on Tar road

on the way back, a short obligatory stop at the Buvette du Bois Noir campsite (if you follow the route you will pass through the campsite) for a short break with a cold drink and the possibility of eating on site (you will be well received) the perfect break just before return in 30 min.

time to run 2h10 with electric bikes sb economical and normal mode depending on the person (I should point out that I had a woman who is not used to doing sport)

The Château de Saint-Maurice, also known as the “Castle of the Governors”, is located at the entrance to Saint-Maurice in the Canton of Valais in Switzerland. This impressive castle is built on the Saint-Maurice Gorge, a location bordered by a steep escarpment on one side and the Rhone River on the other. The castle has a rich history and once played an important role in military and judicial affairs.
