I did this to Les Giettes: it's a signposted climb, there should be panels at each km, but I took the steeper secondary path up to Vérossaz. There is a fountain at the Giettes. The gradients in the first half are quite steep, often around 13％, but the climb itself was in a pleasant shade with almost no traffic. At the Giettes (nice view of the Rhône valley!) you can either continue climbing up to Chindonne, or descend to Monthey or towards Champéry (chemin des Rives).... read more
