Description
Risk of black ice in places. Good shoes recommended. Hiking path leading to Les Ziettes. The return path is not included in the technical data.
This pedestrian hiking path takes you from Vercorin to Les Ziettes. The route is easy to follow and offers a breathtaking view of the Val d'Anniviers. You will enjoy the imperial crown (Bishorn, Weisshorn, Zinalrothorn, Obergabelhorn, Matterhorn and Dent Blanche) at the arrival. You will also be able to admire the typical agricultural mayens of the region, now converted into holiday chalets. The forest route offers a nice walk to fully enjoy nature.
An ideal track for a family outing!
For the more courageous, the path continues to Grimentz via St.-Jean (more information on the condition of the trail at: [Infos Live, pedestrian hike.](https://www.vercorin.ch/fr/infos-live-3958.html?station=v&group=WANDERWEG)).
Transport
To reach Vercorin by car, take the A9 motorway exit called "Sierre ouest". At the motorway exit, take the first roundabout exit towards Chalais. Once in Chalais, take the road towards "Vercorin". The journey takes about 20 minutes from the motorway exit.
A good alternative to the mountain road is also the cable car from Chalais (free parking) which reaches Vercorin in 7 minutes. Free shuttle buses run between the cable car and the ski lifts.
A free shuttle will take you to Les Liches, the start of the hike.
