You should expect screey and blocked paths. The path over the karst of Téné is secured with footholds and iron pins and the descents from the Col des Eaux Froides and the Col des Audannes are in parts very steep and with loose gravel. A head for heights and surefootedness are therefore essential.
Our hike starts at the amazing Barrage de Tseuzier. To get in the mood, we hike gently along the lake and the beginnings of the Bisse de Sion until the path slowly ascends. Leaving the pastures behind us, the steepness increases until we reach the karst of Téné. These impressive rock formations offer a very special hiking experience. The ascent to the Col des Eaux Froides follows, from where we can already see the Cabane des Audannes. A final descent separates us from our destination for the day.
We round off the day with a delicious dinner at the hut.
After a tasty breakfast, we set off on an exciting new adventure! We're turning our backs on the Cabane des Audannes and making our way towards the Sanetsch Pass. On our hike there, we'll be treated to a breathtaking panoramic summit high above Anzére before we tackle the exhilarating descent through the scree flanks of the Col des Audannes. As we pass other lakes, we reach the Sanetsch Pass, from where we descend to the reservoir as time allows. To finish our hiking day, we can stop off at the lovely L'Auberge du Sanetsch, and then later take the bus back down to Sion!
The region between Lac de Tseuzier and the Sanetsch Pass offers impressive alpine landscapes with striking rock formations, blue mountain lakes and extensive high plateaus. The hiking trails lead through varied nature and offer breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and glaciers. An ideal area for all those who want to experience the beauty of the Alps in tranquil, untouched nature.
Meeting point: 10:33 AM at the Bus stop Barrage de Tseuzier
The Cabane des Audannes is picturesquely situated on a high plateau and offers an impressive panoramic view of the surrounding Valais Alps. The cozy mountain hut is an ideal place to relax after a challenging hike and experience the tranquil beauty of nature.
A delicious dinner and a hearty breakfast await you at the Cabane des Audannes. You should bring your own food and drink for the day.
You can pre-order a packed lunch for Sunday and receive it at the hut.
Please bear in mind that even in summer the weather conditions in the mountains can change quickly. You should therefore be equipped for sun and clouds, storms and rain in equal measure.
You will receive a detailed packing list in good time before the start of the tour.
