Description
Join me on this great day hike to the spectacular Corbassière Glacier, departing from Fionnay, a village located in the western part of the canton of Valais. This amazing tour allow us to get closer to the stunning peaks of the Grand Combin massif and to enjoy unique views of glacier.
The Bec de Corbassiere tour requires an extra effort on altitude, as Fionnay is situated at 1490 meters, at the bottom of the valley of Bagnes. The village is located at the foot of the glacier and of the Gran Combin massif.
The Bec de Séry tour is an alternative to the Bec de Corbassière route. It is a little less demanding as it starts from the Brunet Hut (2103m). Both routes guarantee an exceptional alpine panorama! So, whatever option you choose, you will enjoy an amazing hiking adventure.
There is also an impressive suspension bridge, the Paserelle de Crobassière. It has a height of 70 meters and it is 21o meters long**. Crossing the bridge is optional**, but it will not leave anyone indifferent!
Just send me a request if you’d like to join me on a great day hike, enjoying breathtaking views in the Swiss Alps. If you are looking for more options, check out my profile page and discover othergreat hiking tours in Switzerland!

Mountain Leader
Setting off on an adventure on a whim, without a precise plan, walking according to desires and emotions, pushing further to discover what a summit or a ridge reveals. Trained as a business lawyer, then manager of a large sports store, biathlete and trail runner, it was my job as a guide that ultimately allowed me to establish a more structured and secure framework for my wanderings, but without ever losing my wonder and my curiosity. It is with this state of mind that today I like to travel and share the mountains here and elsewhere, preferably roaming, in order to give us time to soak up the landscapes which evolve over time, days and seasons.
I will always be happy to set off on the classic tours, but above all I strive to guide you off the beaten paths.

What people are saying about -Sarah

Frankly, Sarah Kleinknecht is what you dream of having when picking a guide and it is my pleasure to provide a review. My 76 year old mother and I recently went on a 5 day trek through the Alps and it was nothing short of perfect. Sarah is able to perfectly speak 3 different languages however I would argue that her ability to communicate the needs of her clients is her most fluent form of expression. She was easily able to adjust daily excursions depending on weather/ability and planned a life changing adventure. My mother, who as stated is 76, had a perfectly planned course of hikes/trails with challenging yet achievable objectives. Even more so, Sarah is low key a celebrity within the Alps having worked there over 20 years and knew everyone! We were warmly greeted like old friends everywhere we went. She is a positive yet stern guide who keeps safety first yet is always able to provide a laugh. Without a doubt, I would highly recommended Sarah!
