St-Luc/Tignousa - Chemin des Planètes No. 19

An educational and fun experience for the whole family to enjoy between Tignousa and the Hotel Weisshorn.

The Path of the Planets, which stretches from the funicular’s arrival station in Tignousa to the Hotel Weisshorn, is a scaled-down representation (1/1,000,000,000th scale for distances and 1/100,000,000th scale for sizes) of our solar system. So you’ll need to walk 4.5 km along the Path to reach the last planet (Neptune), represented by a 50-cm sphere. Further on, the Path becomes a balcony-style trail along the slopes of the Pointes de Nava. There you’ll discover Halley’s Comet and the dwarf planet Pluto.
