The first stage of the Val d‘Hérens Tour is a top-class panoramic hike against a dramatic backdrop of glaciated mountains. The route leads from Thyon past an idyllic high wetland, Les Gouilles d’Essertze, to Grande Dixence, the world’s tallest gravity dam. The second leg begins on the crest of the dam and follows the shores of the Lac des Dix before a steep climb to the legendary Col de Riedmatten and a descent to the village of Arolla. The third stage links the valley’s ancient villages, whose well-preserved hearts, full of historical charm, bear witness to traditional life in the Valais Alps. At Evolène, the fourth stage starts with a climb via alpine meadows and through forests to a high-altitude mountain refuge, the Cabane des Becs de Bosson: the highest point of the entire hike. After a night here, the final, fifth stage leads into the wild and pristine Vallon de Réchy and on to Nax, whose magnificent views have earned the village the nickname of “heaven’s balcony”.

Take extra care protecting yourself from the sun at altitude. UV radiation can be exceptionally strong, even in cloudy weather. Plan hike carefully: take into consideration fitness level of each participant, weather forecast and season. Weather conditions can change quickly in the mountains, without warning. Appropriate clothing is therefore essential, along with adequate supplies of food and water. In uncertain weather, turn back in good time.For high-altitude hikes:
Inform others of the route you plan to take. Whenever possible, avoid going alone. Do not venture onto glaciers without a mountain guide. Take note of the warning signs that point out the constant danger in river beds and along watercourses below dams and reservoirs: water levels may rise rapidly without warning.More information about the destination:
