Easy
Departure from Bagnes (Valais)
An extremely easy walk on a very gentle slope. Take the ski lifts from Verbier to Ruinettes (or walk up), and you can continue to Mont-Fort by cable car. At La Chaux, the restaurant “Le Dahu”, with sun loungers and occasional entertainment (such as concerts), awaits you.
Six Blanc mountain, Mont Brûlé and Col de Mille

8h 25
Difficult
Departure from Bagnes (Valais)
A challenging loop with alternating gentle climbs and easy descents, offering magnificent views of the Val de Bagne on one side and Orsières on the other. There are also numerous views of the French and Swiss Alps in good weather.
La Tzoumaz - Nendaz
9.23 mi
+2,001 ft
-2,372 ft
6h 00
Moderate
Departure from Riddes (Valais)
The elevation profile says it all about this day. Most of the route runs along the Grand Bisse de Saxon. This section has been beautifully restored. In Taillay, you will discover a water wheel and a hammer powered by the stream. This ingenious invention was an alarm signal. The sound of the hammer could be heard 2 km away. The absence of sound alerted the bisse guard. You will recognise the Muverans massif on the other side of the Rhône valley.
From Col des Planches to Grimentz via the bisses trail
62.19 mi
+17,077 ft
-16,499 ft
6 days
Difficult
Departure from Vollèges (Valais)
The word ‘bisse’ is used in Valais to refer to an irrigation channel carrying water from the mountains to farmland. They may be buried underground, carved into the rock or suspended from cliffs. Some bisses date back over 500 years and their channels have deteriorated or even ceased to exist following rockfalls. Water is therefore not available everywhere, despite efforts to restore this precious heritage.Over the course of six days, you will explore these trails steeped in history.
Col des Planches - La Tzoumaz
8.55 mi
+3,048 ft
-2,720 ft
6h 35
Difficult
Departure from Vollèges (Valais)
During this first stage, you will discover part of the Old Saxon Bisse (the longest of the bisse: 26 km from its water source in Siviez to La Boveresse). The bisse starts at the point (6). Built in the 1850s, the pipes no longer exist, so you will have to wait until you reach La Tzoumaz to finally see water flowing along the path. The bisse is currently being restored in sections.
The Pierre Avoi from the Col des Planches
12.93 mi
+4,957 ft
-4,948 ft
10h 15
Difficult
Departure from Vollèges (Valais)
Pierre Avoi is the local dialect term for ‘rock worth seeing’: that certainly makes you want to go there! It is an isolated rocky peak on the Verbier ridge, making it an iconic summit. The route suggested here, starting from the Col des Planches, is a slightly less busy alternative to the one from Verbier or Savoleyres.
Cleuson Dam

+3,084 ft

6h 20
Moderate
Departure from Nendaz (Valais)
A lovely hike starting from Siviez, beginning with the chairlift (15 FS for the ascent). Then take the path along the mountainside to reach the lake. Next, head downhill back to the starting point.
Brunet Hut - Louvie Hut
5.46 mi
+3,333 ft
-2,930 ft
5h 25
Difficult
Departure from Bagnes (Valais)
This fifth stage crosses the Val de Bagnes. To the right of the Cabane Brunet, follow the path that descends directly to Fionnay. Be careful, this very steep path with countless tree roots can be slippery and dangerous in wet weather. Cross the road that leads to Fionnay. The path to the Louvie Hut is signposted in the centre of the village, on the right bank of the torrent. The trail is well marked all the way to the hut. Ibex often come close to the hut. A little further on, it is possible to see chamois.
