    Eine Wanderung mit wirklich toller Aussicht, die sich schon fast als Geheimtipp einordnen lässt, da wir nicht vielen Personen begegnet sind. Die Gondel zum Crêt du Midi kostet 16 CHF (keine Vergünstigung für GA/Halbtax), jene runter ab Bendolla auch. Wir sind in Crêt du Midi gestartet. Gleich zu Beginn geht es steil hoch, Rundumsicht vorhanden. Oben angekommen muss man etwas in einem Felsen mit Stahlseil hochklettern. Einige Passagen sind wohl nur für schwindelfreie Personen. Danach geht's ziemlich lange eben auf dem Grat entlang, bis man schliesslich wieder etwas steil durch Geröll aufsteigt zum Aussichtspunkt Roc d'Orzival. Perfekter Ort für die Mittagspause. Der Abstieg zur Gondelbahn zieht sich etwas. Definitiv zu empfehlen!

    Eine traumhafte Tour, die in das abgeschiedene und wildromantische Vallon de Réchy führt. Oben, wo der Wasserfall hinunterstürzt, kann man wunderbar Pause machen. Eine Einkehrmöglichkeit ist auch die Buvette La Lé. Danach folgt man der Bisse de Vercorin zurück ins Dorf. Die letzten 30 Minuten sind dann auf breiter Straße weniger eindrucksvoll, aber insgesamt eine wunderschöne Route. Wer Abstiege mag, kommt auf seine Kosten.
