Description
Lack of snow at the end of the route, ski carrying possible. This moderate difficulty ascent starts at Sigeroulaz, the intermediate station of the ...
This path starts at the intermediate station Sigeroulaz of the "Vercorin - Crêt du Midi" cable car and takes you towards the Vallon de Réchy. This protected nature reserve, inaccessible in winter, promises you a breathtaking view. During your outing, don’t forget to enjoy the unbeatable snowy landscapes of the region’s jewel!
From Sigeroulaz, this route crosses the forest and guarantees a quite manageable elevation gain up to Crêt du Midi. Remember to stop at the mountain restaurant in Crêt du Midi to admire the panorama and enjoy a meal (Valais specialties, international cuisine, vegetarian dishes...)!
Transport
To reach Vercorin by car, take the A9 motorway exit called "Sierre west." 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) that 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.
