Two options are available to those who want to cross from Val d'Anniviers to Val Turtmann: the Meidpass or the Forcletta Pass. The Meidpass is the most popular, lowest, least strenuous and easily accessible path from the Hotel Weisshorn or from St. Luc. It is possible to run this route, if you are fit enough to tackle the steep climb to the top. The descent from both sides is great fun. The trail ascends and descends through pastures with good views of the surrounding landscape. From here, there are sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. You can admire the high peaks that border the west side of the Val d'Anniviers and the Val de Moiry. The panorama includes a sea of peaks dominating the Rhone Valley and the highest peaks, including the Grand Combin and Mont Blanc, to the southwest. As you pass the pass from the west, impressive views open up to the Brunegghorn, the Bishorn and the Weisshorn which rise above the craggy peaks in the Val Turtmann. The peaks of the Dom and the Taschhorn rise above the ridge which borders the east side of the Val Turtmann. An important note: the Meidpass marks the border between French-speaking Valais and German-speaking Wallis.

The Pas de Lona is a hiking pass located at an altitude of 2787 meters connecting Eison in the Val d'Hérens, to Grimentz via the Col des Becs-de-Bosson, or the Moiry dam via the Basset de Lona, in the Val d'Hérens. of Anniviers. The Becs de Bosson hut overlooks the pass on the ridge to the north of the pass, below the eponymous summit. Located on the Grand Raid route between Verbier and Grimentz, it constitutes the passage most feared by participants because it requires considerable effort before being able to switch to the last section leading to Grimentz.
