Directions

Starting from Les Ruinettes, go to the start of the Bisse du Levron which is located above the arrival of the gondola. 

Halfway along this family walk through the pastures lie a number of mountain restaurants offering a welcome break. 

Don’t miss a chance to admire the the “Chute du Bisse“ at the end of your walk. 

The return either follows La Marlénaz (Marlénaz > Sonalon > Verbier - 1h30), or goes via Le Château ( Château > Chevil > lard > Patier - 1h15).
