Trail running course Combire-Meina Le départ se situe devant l’hôtel Magrappé. L’itinéraire démarre sur la piste jusqu'aux courts de tennis puis rejoint le chemin dit de "Fevouet". La montée est abrupte et longue, 900 mètres de dénivelé en six kilomètre et demi. Elle traverse d'abord les Mayens de Veysonnaz, puis les Crêtes de Poé jusqu'au « plat de Poé » où a lieu l’inalpe à la fin du mois de juin. Elle aboutit enfin à Thyon et rejoint la station amont de la télécabine de Veysonnaz. Malgré la présence de deux restaurants, l'heure n'est pas encore à la pause, car la montée continue sur la piste de la Cheminée jusqu'aux Crêtes de Thyon vers 2'410 mètres. La vue s'ouvre alors sur les montagnes majestueuses du Val d’Hérens. La suite se déroule sur les arêtes, dans un magnifique cadre aérien. Vous gravirez les différents monts de la chaîne, à chaque fois un peu plus haut : le Mont-Carré 2'468 mètres, le Mont-Rouge 2'490 mètres, facilement reconnaissable à sa terre rouge et sa croix, le fier Mont-Loéré 2'578 mètres, également décoré d'une croix, et enfin le col du Greppon Blanc 2'671 mètres. Du Greppon Blanc, la course entame sa descente tout d’abord en direction de la Meina où paissent les vaches de la race d’Hérens durant l’été. Elle retourne à Thyon 2000, par l'Ancien bisse de Chervé. Cette partie du trail est roulante et très agréable à courir, à travers les alpages et la Forêt Noire, jusqu'à la piste de l'Ours, et les plats de Thyon. La descente sur le village commence sur la conduite forcée, derrière les bâtiment de Thyon 2000. Lancez un dernier regard à la Dent Blanche et faites un petit clin d'oeil au Cervin avant de pénétrer dans la magnifique forêt de l'Ours. Le parcours vous emmène au Gouilli d'En Haut, un étang naturel niché aux cœur de la forêt, traverse la piste de l'Ours et continue sur un chemin pédestre sauvage et abrupte flirtant avec l'orée du bois et les Mayens. Le retour devant l’hôtel Magrappé, votre point de départ, signifie la fin d'une belle course aventureuse. 2026-06-12T09:45:04+02:00 Mont_Rouge_automne_2020 (Christelle_Yerly) Rando_trail_arêtes_Loéré_2020 (Veysonnaz_Tourisme) Parcours_trail_alpage_meina_coureur_été_2020 (Suisse_Tourisme) Mayens_Veysonnaz_été_2024 (Veysonnaz Tourisme) 1231.1627197266 Veysonnaz Winter in Veysonnaz: The ski resort is located at the gateway to the largest ski domain in Switzerland, the 4 Vallées. This white wonderland stretches over 400 km of ski slopes of all levels. Snow is guaranteed right down to the foot of the slopes with over 200 artificial snow making devices. Linking Veysonnaz, Thyon, Nendaz and Verbier via Mont Fort on skis is no longer just a pipe dream, it's a reality at last! Sheer pleasure on a variety of slopes, for example a descent on the legendary Piste de l'Ours, known for its 30 World Cup ski races and always appreciated by competitors, with the Skicross and Snowboard Cross World Cup. Spring in Veysonnaz: a quieter season for tourists, between the melting snow and the awakening of the surrounding nature. The village lives to the rhythm of the traditional festivals, the farmers bring out their livestock and the schoolchildren are ready to finish their school year, which means a new stage in their lives is about to begin. The beginning of summer is launched at the end of June when the cattle return to the mountain pastures and school closes for the summer holidays. Summer in Veysonnaz: this little spot of paradise invites you to explore and respect the nature that surrounds you through its various outdoor activities. Getting a little closer to nature means a return to your roots along the many bisses and marked footpaths. Relaxation and self-awareness are also promoted while enjoying our forests. Mountain bikers can enjoy their favourite sport on a variety of tracks of different levels with the possibility of using the ski lifts for the more demanding uphill sections. Families are welcome, thanks to our flagship Sun&Fun entertainment and outdoor activities programme, as well as numerous excursions. Summer is, of course, a time to relax and watch the sunset while enjoying a fun time with friends. Autumn in Veysonnaz is a time for walks, extraordinary colours and fine food. Brisolée and game specialities are the typical dishes of the season. Often mild summer weather is still present in October, while the tourist world is busy preparing for the approaching winter, as is the local wildlife, which is also getting ready for winter. Everything will be ready, but let's enjoy every last ray of sunshine. This is how the year passes in this small village in the Valais, through each changing season. Welcome to the village!
