Sunday - we're off to the Ovronnaz region to hike Le Tour du Grand Chavalard.
A fantastic hike, recommended by a local Valaisan as one of the most beautiful hikes in Valais.
A long, long hike but we’ll take in lots of beautiful flora and fauna, wildlife, the stunning turquoise of Lac de Fully and magnificent views of the Grand Combin and Mont Blanc. Lots of photo opportunities!

Total Hiking Time: 6 hours (including picnic lunch stop)
Elevation: 663 metres up – 663 metres down
Distance: 16.5 kms
Difficulty: It’s a long hike and some parts are VERY steep, so a very good level of hiking fitness is required as we hike up to an altitude of 2452 metres.
