Description
⚠️Modified route⚠️The trail starts at the departure of the Sigeroulaz-Vercorin toboggan run. To reach the start, you need to go up the Route du ...
Ski hike from Vercorin to the mountain restaurant at Crêt-du-Midi passing through the magnificent Réchy valley.
This ascent passing through the western sector of the ski area leads to the summit of Crêt-du-Midi. The different areas between forest and clearings offer a varied route of medium difficulty. The last ascent in the Réchy valley will offer you a breathtaking view of this natural jewel. You will see Mont-Noble on the right as well as the Maya overlooking the valley.
Sunny in the second part of the day, it is the ideal route to enjoy the weather conditions of a beautiful winter day and to benefit from a moment in nature!
Santa Maria is the perfect route to combine physical effort and pleasure on the same outing.
To finish your walk, remember to stop at the mountain restaurant at Crêt du Midi to enjoy the panorama and have a meal (more information at: [Crêt du Midi Restaurant](https://www.vercorin.ch/fr/restaurant-cret-du-midi-vercorin-582.html)).
