Description
Thanks to this route, you can discover the authentic villages of the Evolène region. Three sections - an initial difficulty at the start of the route, followed by a fairly steep descending section, with a final section along the river - give this route a nice variety of landscapes and difficulties.
Turn-by-turn directions
From the parking lot back to the road to the Coop shop. From the Coop in Evolène, drive 200 m towards Les Haudères. Then turn left through the hamlet of La Fauchère. This is the first and only major climb of the route. A 400 m elevation difference takes you below the villa. On a hilly path that repeatedly crosses small streams, you then reach the village of La Sage. At the chapel, a magnificent view opens up to the Dent-Blanche and the Dents de Veisivi. The descent to Les Haudères goes through the forest. Then return to the starting point by following the course of the Borgne, a large river in the Val d'Hérens.
