🛠️ Successful collaboration and unpredictable weather! 🛠️
On May 16, 2024, on the heights of Saxon, a handful of enthusiasts braved the rain for an essential maintenance mission: the redevelopment of the access trail to the Auberge de la Pleyeux. This day of work marked the first official collaboration between ProVTT Valais and the Entretrail association, a promising partnership for the maintenance and enhancement of Valais trails.
🤝 A committed mobilization despite the elements
Despite unfavorable weather conditions, seven determined volunteers responded. Equipped with shovels and rakes, they rolled up their sleeves to stabilize the lower edge of the trail, ensure proper water flow through efficient drainage, and thoroughly clean the route.

This project was made possible thanks to the invaluable support of the municipality of Saxon, which provided the necessary tools and even a welcome aperitif to warm up the troops. The Friends of the Bisse association was also involved, contributing its knowledge of the area and a few extra hands. ProVTT extends a special thank you to the Auberge de la Pleyeux, which generously hosted the participants for a well-deserved midday break.
🏞️ A refurbished access trail
Thanks to joint efforts, the day's objectives were achieved. The access trail, running along an exposed slope, was reinforced and made safer for users of the area. This work will improve the safety of hikers and cyclists, while ensuring greater durability of the trail in the face of the region's natural conditions.
The project is part of ongoing efforts to maintain high-quality trail networks, accessible to all, and to promote harmonious coexistence between riders of different disciplines.
🌟 A first that calls for others
This first joint initiative between ProVTT and Entretrail paves the way for future collaborations in other municipalities in the canton. Building on this success, despite the rain, the momentum underway promises great prospects for the sustainable maintenance of Valais trails.
"These local partnerships are essential for preserving the quality of our routes and cultivating a community spirit around cycling and hiking. » — ProVTT Valais
The commitment of volunteers and the support of local stakeholders demonstrate, once again, that passion and solidarity are the best drivers for moving field projects forward.
