The Pyramids trail

Partially open trail

Take a walk very close to the fabulous pyramids of Euseigne. You can't miss them on your way up the Val d'Hérens, as the road passes right by them in the new tunnel. There are car parks at the start of the trail on either side of the Pyramids. 

This trail takes us back to the Ice Age and the erosion work in the Alps that gave rise to the famous Euseigne pyramids. As you follow the path, you'll discover the enchantment of these slender colossi shaped by nature. Further on, don't miss the village of Euseigne, which was ravaged by fire in 1917 and has benefited from a different kind of urbanisation from other Valais villages.

As you make your way up through the village to the Plan de la Croix, you'll be treated to a magnificent panoramic view of the valley. On the way down, you'll come across a splendid raccard, typical of the Val d'Hérens. The walk ends with a bird's eye view of the pyramids before returning to the starting point.

You can also reach the Combioula hot springs. Leave from Euseigne and follow the signs for "Combioulaz", thinking of the footpath beneath the pyramids. Be careful in the gullies during periods of high water. It is forbidden to go into the riverbed.

Alternatively, leave Euseigne and follow signs for "La Crettaz", then "La Luette". Go through the village of La Luette towards Ossona and the Grande Combe footbridge.

You will pass through the hamlet of Ossone, then descend to Combioulaz and reach the Manna ravine, before arriving at the Combioula hot springs.
