Val d'Anniviers Bike Planet Tour Mountainbike in Vissoie

This 25 km mountain bike route gives you the chance to visit the legendary Hôtel Weisshorn and to follow the Planets Trail. The view from on high is worth the trip in itself.
The route departs from the sunny village of St-Luc, situated at an altitude of 1,600 m. The first stage follows a broad forestry track through the «Forêt du Rochet» and the «Forêt des Teppes», before arriving at Tignousa, the top station of the funicular. If you wish, the route can be substantially reduced by taking the funicular.
Close by the funicular station is the François-Xavier Bagnoud Observatory, which regularly organizes observations of the sun and astronomical evenings. From here you follow the Planets Trail, which reproduces the solar system on a reduced scale whereby each step corresponds to a million kilometres. The final few hundred meters lead through beautiful scenery and bring you to the legendary Hôtel Weisshorn in its commanding position overlooking the whole of the Val d'Anniviers.
Itinerary: St-Luc - Forêt du Rochet - Forêt des Teppes - Tignousa - Chalet Blanc - Le Poyou - Le Chiesso - Hôtel Weisshorn - Le Chiesso - Copaté - St-Luc.
The last metres before the hotel are beautiful - this scenery was the film location of the German Series "Capelli Code".
