    Wir haben die Tour Mitte August mit 2 Familien gemacht. Am ersten Tag gab es Regen und so haben wir die Bahn für die ersten Höhenmeter genommen. Die Hütten sind sehr einfach. Die Wege sind schön und meist einsam. Teilweise sind die Anstiege nicht ohne. Unbedingt die lange Tour machen. Die 3. Hütte hat eine wunderschöne Aussicht, etwas mehr Komfort und der letzte Tag mit den alten Lärchen und der Suone ist was ganz Besonderes. Man sollte Kühe mögen. Wir mußten jeden Tag durch die Weideflächen. Die Tour ist mit Verpflegung gebucht und so hatten wir jeden Tag ein tolles Picknick für unterwegs.

    Mooie wandeling, waarvan het eerste deel vanaf Ayant le Luc (parkeren bij Ayant Botyre le Creux en langs de weg iets teruglopen richting le luc) door de kloof van de Lienne een zeer mooi en spannend pad is. Daarna loop je door de wijnvelden langs de bisse de clavau richting Sion. Vlak voor Sion is een leuk wijntentje van het domaine Bonvin, waar je een drankje en hapje kan doen met uitzicht over het Rhonedal. Wanneer je de auto in Ayant Botyre le Creux parkeert, kan je aan het einde van de tocht de bus weer terugnemen bij bushalte Grimisuat les Places.

    Sensationell abwechslungsreiche Tour - stets mit Panoramablick. Auch an schneearmen Tagen im Februar gut begehbar (Stöcke empfehlenswert). Der Postbus zurück nach Crans ist komfortabel und leicht über die SBB App buchbar (50 min.)

    Sehr schöner, schattiger Weg durch den Wald. Immer wieder Blicke ins Tal. Der Rastplatz am Teich ist gemütlich. Die Tour ist eher kurz, aber gut zu machen mit Kindertrage und mit Kindern
