Tour of Chandolin via the Chemin des Coqs Trail No. 18

OUR ADVICE
The Chemin des Coqs takes its name from the capercaillie—or great capercaillie—which roams discreetly on these inhospitable slopes

Useful information

From the Tourist Office, take the Chemin de la Raye (passing in front of the small Museum of Wildlife, open 7 days a week). The trail then crosses through the old village, passes in front of the church, runs alongside the Calvaire playground, and climbs just below the Grand Hôtel de Chandolin. From there, the Chemin des Coqs begins—a charming little path that winds through the Invers Forest.
On the way back, you can make a detour to the Wildlife Observatory.
From the Ponchèt Road, you can continue the hike and head:

- Left toward Pramarin, then join the Bisse Trail and return via the Cabane de l’Illhorn (1h30 – moderate difficulty)
- Turn left toward the Ponchèt alp. Along the way, be sure to check out the spectacular Illgraben erosion site (2 hours—easy)
