Hike Tour of the villages of Veysonnaz and ClèbesCette balade est idéale pour découvrir les différentes facettes villageoises de Veysonnaz et environs. Le point de départ est proposé en face de Veysonnaz Tourisme, vers l'arrivée de la piste des Mayens, sur la place de la télécabine. Le bisse de Vex tout proche et l'hôtel Magrappé font de cet endroit un lieu agréable et bien fréquenté en toute saison.
Vous découvrirez ensuite la Rue de Pra, rue centrale de la station touristique, bordée d'immeubles et agrémentée de commerces et restaurants. Au bout de la rue, vers le Restaurant le Greppon Blanc, ne manquez pas d'admirer le panorama exceptionnel qui s'offre à vous avant de redescendre sur le Chemin de Pra pour rejoindre le vieux village. Vous êtes invités à traverser les petites ruelles et pourquoi pas visiter l'église. Admirez la belle maison communale en bois.
Après avoir traversé Veysonnaz, rejoignez la Route de Clèbes, agréable et ensoleillée. A l'entrée du hameau, poursuivez sur la même route en direction de Verrey, jusqu'au bisse de Vex, qui vous ramènera jusqu’à Veysonnaz.
La majorité du parcours s'effectue sur des routes bien déneigées et ne comporte pas de difficultés particulières. La dernière partie sur le bisse peut cependant être délicate en cas de verglas persistant.Eglise_hiver_neige_plaine_Rue_de_Pra_2017 (Veysonnaz_Tourisme)Bisse_de_Vex_Clèbes_neige_hiver_2010 (Veysonnaz_Tourisme)Randonnée_hiver_bisse_Vex_Ramuge_2019 (Veysonnaz_Tourisme)Randonnée_hiver_contour_Clèbes_matin_2019 (Veysonnaz_Tourisme)1231.1627197266VeysonnazWinter 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.

The building was built in a Neo-Gothic style. Before 1905, there was a chapel on the site of the church. It was built in 1425 and rebuilt in 1721.
The land belonged to the Bishop of Sion and Veysonnaz was originally part of Nendaz. In 1912 Veysonnaz left the parish of Basse-Nendaz and became its own parish with Clèbes and Verrey, who remained linked to the commune of Nendaz.
Today, the parish of Veysonnaz/Clèbes/Verrey is part of the Nendaz sector and the deanship of Vex. This deanship includes the sectors of the Sionne / Hérens and NendazFête patronale_église Veysonnaz_2016 (Jean-François Rumack)Eglise_de_Veysonnaz_clocher_2011 (Aline_Fournier)Eglise_veysonnaz (Veysonnaz_Tourisme)1270.5914306641ClèbesThe heart of the village of Clèbes is composed of stone houses dating from the beginning of the 20th century. In the afternoon of the 8th of August 1904, a fire broke out. The flames destroyed a large part of the houses, which at that time were built close together and mostly of wood. As a result, the village was rebuilt exclusively in stone.
Today, there are still small barns used in the past to store hay, straw and cereal.
At the far end of the village, a path located on a glacial moraine leads to the bisse de Salins.Village Clèbes 2018 (Inès Bonvin)Clèbes Champlan 2017 (Florian Guntern)1366.5284423828Bisse de VexThe Bisse de Vex takes its source in the Printse river at 1500 metres above sea level in the picturesque hamlet of Planchouet. Through wooden troughs, underground passages or channels dug into the ground, the water flows peacefully over a distance of 12 kilometres to Les Mayens-de-Sion. It first waters the mid-mountain pastures and then runs through the forest for several kilometres before emerging into the dry meadows above the hamlet of Clèbes. The bisse then passes through the charming village of Veysonnaz and continues through the forest to Les Mayens-de-Sion.
In 1453 the inhabitants of Vex, needing water to irrigate their fields, applied to Nendaz, at that time under the control of the Duke of Savoy, to obtain permission to collect water from the Printse by building a canal to bring it to Vex. An agreement was signed under the condition that the inhabitants of Vex would deliver each year, instead of those of Nendaz, a wooden beam of Larch to the town of Sion for the maintenance of the bridge over the River Rhone. Original documents dating back to 1453 and 1476 are deposited in the archives of both municipalities.
With the decline in farming and the introduction of more modern watering systems, the bisse fell into disuse and was abandoned in 1971. Thanks to the initiative committee for the reconstruction of the Bisse de Vex whose members were from Nendaz, the bisse was put back in water on September 30th 2000. Today it is one of the most beautiful bisses in the Valais and a magnificent family walk.
In winter the bisse is open between Veysonnaz and les Mayens-de-Sion and between Veysonnaz and Verrey, the rest of the path is closed due to the danger of avalanches.Chapelle de Planchouet extérieur été 2022 (Florian Bouvet)Bisse de Vex été 2022 (Florian Bouvet)Bisse_de_Vex_Planchouet_pont_en_bois_vue_Nendaz_2018 (Veysonnaz_Tourisme)Bisse_de_Vex_Planchouet_pont_en_bois_luminosité_automne_2017 (Veysonnaz_Tourisme)Bisse_de_Vex_Planchouet_2013 (Aline_Fournier)Bisse_de_Vex_mayens_de_Sion_enneigé_2021 (Veysonnaz_Tourisme)Bisse_de_Vex_Mayens_de_Sion_2017 (Veysonnaz_Tourisme)1354.2822265625Restaurant Le MagrappéThe Magrappé's restaurant offers a warm and relaxed atmosphere.
