Notre Dame de Mont d'Orge is highly praised for its stunning panoramic views of Sion and the surrounding vineyards. Reviewers describe the hike as short but rewarding, though some note the 'parcours vitæ' fitness trail can be quite tough. While the scenery is the main draw, some visitors mentioned that the paths can become muddy or slippery, particularly when covered in leaves. There is a specific warning regarding navigation; Google Maps may lead to an access point without parking, so it is recommended to park on the far side of the lake. Despite some minor graffiti noted by a few, the overall experience is considered a top destination for a quick nature walk near the city.
