With views of the Dent de Nendaz, Mont Gond and Mont Gelé, you can climb hairpin bends to the Col de la Croix de Coeur. The last climb is on a unpaved road and the view up is absolutely fantastic. Just like the cyclists of the Tour de Suisse and Tour de France 2009, you take the southern ramp to Verbier.
