With 15 marked routes across 200 km of trails, for a combined total of 15,800 m of elevation gain, any high-altitude runner will find something to like in Crans-Montana. Among the most popular routes, the Bisse du Ro features several spectacular — and vertiginous — sections carved into the cliffside and a plunging view over the Rhône Valley, as it runs along one of the area’s ancient bisses (irrigation channels). The 55 km version of the Trail des Patrouilleurs ascends from the heart of the ski resort to the summit of Bella Lui (2,543 m), via a climb up the famous ladders of the Col du Pochet. Two options, among many others, that help reinforce Crans-Montana as a trail running stronghold in Valais.
