Snowshoeing in Verbier and Entremont

The Verbier, Entremont region offers numerous snowshoeing outings and the choices are endless.

I propose here a 2-day hike with an overnight stay in one of the famous local mountain huts, the Cabane Brunet.

The Cabane Brunet is set in the heart of the Val de Bagnes and comes highly recommended because of its incredible location. This area provides delightful walks through the forest with breathtaking views of the mountain ranges. The main theme of this outing is based on the wildlife and their winter habitat and the rapid melting of the glaciers and the repercussions this has on the environment and local economy.

DAY 1 : WALKING UP TO THE CABANE MARCEL BRUNET ALT 2103m

800m+ 3 h

The first day we can either drive or take the local bus up to the starting point which is located above the village of Lourtier. From here the path follows an easy trail which connects to a beautiful path in the forest and quickly becomes more vertical. This lovely trail winds up through the forest and eventually meets an opening where the views become more evident. As the trees become more spaced out the surrounding peaks begin to appear. Finally when we leave the forest the swiss flag is visible and our destination is approaching, the Cabane Brunet can be seen perched up on the ridge. On arriving at the cabane you will be warmly welcomed and rewarded with the delicious local specialities.

DAY 2 : LE GOLI DES OTANES ALT. 2552M AND RETURNING TO THE VALLEY FLOOR

The second day consists of crossing up and down a succession of small valleys in the beautiful setting of the massif de Combins (and in particular the Petit Combin). This trail leads us under the foothills of the Mont Rogneux where the views of the surrounding area are sensational. The descent is via the same itinerary and allows us to enjoy the view of the bottom half of the Val de Bagnes, and finally the last stop at the Cabane Brunet before heading down.
