Valtournenche, together with Breuil-Cervinia, Chamois, Torgnon and Zermatt, is part of the Cervino Ski Paradise area. In the centre of Valtournenche, the tourist office is housed in a renovated rascard dating from 1700.
Ferrata del Gorbeillon and Walking Trail to Le Gouffre-des-Busserailles
The Ferrata del Gorbeillon is about a 15-minute walk from the centre of Valtournenche. It serves as training for mountaineers and is suitable practice terrain for beginners. The walking time refers to the route from the town centre to the via ferrata, not to a driving distance. The walking trail to Le Gouffre-des-Busserailles begins in the hamlet of Crépin and takes 45 minutes each way. This duration applies to the one-way section of the route. Anyone planning to walk there and back should allow another 45 minutes for the return journey. The two destinations have different starting points: the via ferrata is reached from the town centre, while the walking trail to Le Gouffre-des-Busserailles begins in Crépin.
