    Mountaineering

    The summit of La Brinta can only be climbed over a rocky ridge with sometimes high heels. However, you have a wonderful panoramic view from the broad crest that joins the ridge. The view sweeps from the high peaks north of the Rhone Valley over the summit ridges on both sides of the Val d'Anniviers to the glaciers at the end of the valley, the Zinal Glacier and behind the Lac du Moiry you can also see the Moiry Glacier. The silhouette of the Matterhorn towers over everything. (Source: Viking Travel)

    Beautiful ridge path from La Brinta to Roc d'Orzival

    Hiking

    From La Brinta to Roc d'Orzival the distance on the ridge is almost 3.5 km
    All difficult passages near the rocks are secured by chains.

    On one side of the ridge is the busy Val d'Anniviers and on the other side the small, uninhabited side valley of Val de Réchy. The Vallon de Réchy is a strictly protected nature reserve. The highlights of the valley are the raised moor of Ar du Tsan with its waterfall, the mountain lake Le Louché and the numerous wild animals which live there in complete tranquility.
