Ovronnaz has become an important bathing and health resort in recent decades. Situated high above the Rhône Valley, bursting with sunshine and crystal-clear mountain air, it's a popular destination with families. The Ovronnaz circuit up to the Col de Forcle reveals spectacular views of the Lower Valais. You'll have to put in a bit of an effort, though, to master the rollercoaster of a countryside. But after the tour you can always get those aching muscles back into superb shape in the soothing waters of the thermal spa.
