Dazzling views await you throughout this hike, which overlooks the famous Verbier resort and offers a splendid panorama of the Rhône Valley, Val de Bagnes and the Combins and Mont Blanc massifs. Located at 2,343 metres in altitude, Savoleyres is the starting point for your hike. Stroll towards Croix-de-Cœur and walk along the mountain ridge until Col des Mines, before admiring the valley of the Lac des Vaux, whose waters are known for their clear reflections of the surrounding summits. This is the ideal spot to stop for a picnic before tackling the Col du Creblet ascent that winds around Mont Rogneux. After a long descent you’ll reach Les Ruinettes, where a cable car will take you back to Verbier.
