Description

A great hike for circumnavigating the sunny mountain above Verbier. Climbing up to The Bisse (a little stream) requires a little stamina, but easy terrain underfoot as you begin on a track road which then leads into the forest. Travel alongside the ‘Bisse’ on a small, mostly flat, single track trail and follow this past Marlenaz restaurant to Marmotte restaurant. Then the steep descent leads you back to Verbier town with an apres stop at Le Rouge. Walking poles will help with the ascent and descent.
