アニヴィエのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

I did this hike in early May 2024, just a few days after the ski season was over and the slopes had closed. The valley was completely deserted and it felt magical! The peaks were still covered in snow, but the first signs of spring were beckoning. On the final stretch to Lac d'Arpitetta, I was wading through snow up to my knees. Without proper gear I couldn’t get any farther than the small lake. The view on that crystal-clear spring day was absolutely fantastic! Check the picture I uploaded with all the peak names added.

Magnificent views on this hike. You can do the loop in both directions, the difficulty is there.

The bridge was destroyed in the flood in June 2024. A wooden bridge was built a little way upstream. That means about a half hour detour, but you can cross the river dry-footed and the area is just great, so the few extra steps don't matter.

Good restaurant, you can sit outside and inside, there are hot and cold food and drinks. Perfect for a little break.

A beautiful view of the valley. High chance of seeing chamois moving gracefully around the rocks. Try not to make a lot of sounds and you will be able to spot them.

From the terrace you have a superb view of Grimentz and the Val d'Anniviers. During the winter season you can eat very well here. And many hikes start from here.

The climb to the village of Villa is very beautiful; you pass many historic residential buildings. Overall, it's a manageable distance for the day's walk from Moiry Dam and return via this location.

Easy to access from Lake Arpitettaz. You will see the Moming glacier which is 3km long and located at an altitude of 2850 m. It is subject to climate change and melts slowly... be careful in these areas in spring.
