Le Chable > Verbier Map

4 km 630 m 0:50 - 1:30 hrs approx. 4/5 difficulty. A purely uphill hike for those wanting to test themselves against the elevation. Starting from Le Chable in the valley, the hiking trail leads you upwards and upwards until you reach Verbier town. Travelling partly along an old roman road the trail weaves through the cute village of Cotterg, through small fields and then into the forest. Walking poles definitely help with this ascent. Do it for time and feel the leg burn, or take it at your own leisurely pace.
