Charmey - La Valsainte

Theme trailHiking trail
Time required: 1 hour 30 minutesLength: 5.20 km

Parc naturel régional Gruyère Pays-d'Enhaut - Use our new smartphone app to explore the Heritage of the Park.

The route follows the road linking Charmey to the Ciernes, passing by Saint Anne Chapel, before forking right on a path that crosses pastures while offering splendid views of the Moleson to the southwest. The route passes several isolated farms that showcase the traditional agricultural landscape of the region- with numerous wood features (hedges, isolated trees, groves, forest edges), before briefly joining the road. A path then gently falls to the valley floor. Cross the Javroz by way of a pretty covered foot bridge, then climb to the monastic site of the Valsainte.
