This one way walk requires you to take the bus back to Verbier, so please be aware of the departure times.

The hike finishes in Fionnay where you can grab a bite to eat or if you're feeling hungry along the route, a great place to stop is the refuge Cabane de Louvie, where they offer local cuisine and even a bed for the night if you feel this walk was too much for one day.
