Stage info
The hike from Montbovon to Enney is the perfect way to take in the beauty and history of the Intyamon Valley, from its traditional architecture and historic bridge to rivers and forests, not to mention farming landscapes and magnificent views of Les Vanils. The route first follows the road to Lac de Lessoc and then continues along the lake's left shore to a unique site: no fewer than four road and rail bridges spanning the Hongrin river. A few hundred metres further on is another bridge. This one is made from wood, has a shingle roof and crosses a different river, the Sarine. After the forest is Lessoc, with its dense cluster of houses and farms and a lovely covered fountain in the village square. The trail continues across some pastureland and along the edge of the forest to a grotto dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes, and the small Taouna river which still powers the Grandvillard sawmill. After a walk through Grandvillard village, the path leads back to the tree-lined banks of the Sarine, across the river again, and finally to Enney's picture-perfect train station.
