エヴォレーヌの峠・トップ20

Spectacular view of Lake Cignana and the 3000m crown that surrounds it.

The Col des Roux is located at 2,803 meters between the rocky Roux mountain range and Mont Blava. It connects the Prafleuri valley and the Val des Dix.

You may see families of wild goats as they don't seem to be bothered about people

The ladders are closed due to rockfall at the base of the ladders and cracks in the rockface around the ladders. The alternative is to go over Riedmatten.

The hike from Lac de Moiry to Col de Torrent is great and the descent to Evolène is largely rideable. Top tip!

When planning your trip, always keep the post buses in mind. You can easily travel to the reservoir (from Zinal) or from La Sage to Arolla, for example, by post bus. As always, take a break on the pass and take your time. When there are clouds, there are always windows where they break away and reveal a wonderful view.

The Col des Otanes is located at an altitude of around 2880 m as a mountain pass between the Cabane FXB Panossière hut on the Corbassière glacier and Mauvoisin in the Dranse valley. Its pass is located between the Grand Tavé (southeast; 3158 m) and the Becca de Corbassière (north; 2690 m). Fascinating views of the nearby glacier and the Combin mountain massifs to the south can be seen. To the north, the view sweeps across the wide valley (Val de Bagnes) and across to the surrounding mountain ranges - including the striking Dents du Midi massif. The path here leads through red-brown or grey-black colored boulders and scree slopes. The path for the ascent to the Grand Tavé branches off to the east very close by.

From this wild mountain pass, you can expect excellent views of the Corbassière glacier, as well as the many surrounding peaks. The pass is rocky and austere, eroded and shaped by many cold, brutal winters, so be prepared for technical and challenging trails in a true mountain environment.
