The descent of the Portes de Culet pass from Monthey follows the right bank of the "Val d'Illiez" up to Troistorrents. At the height of this village, you gain elevation with several hairpin bends and can admire the beautiful church of this small village in the Val d’Illiez. The road then branches right and becomes narrower. It leads you up to the pass summit of Portes de Culet, surrounded by the region's typical alpine meadows. The relaxing atmosphere of this place is simply magical!
The Col des Portes de Culet is a often underestimated ascent in Lower Valais, but it is definitely worth a detour! The climb to Troistorrents, where you cross the valley's cog railway, is quite easy. As you ride up towards Morgins, you gradually see the Dents du Midi in all their glory. The range consists of seven peaks, with Haute Cime being the highest. The emblematic mountain of the region with its rugged face is incredibly impressive. After leaving the main road, the route takes you through a protected natural landscape up to the pass summit. A gem you should not miss!
