Zinal : Rando Parc / Tsarmet' depuis Mottec

This impressive climb (an almost 1000m ascent) is one of the finest in the area, taking you through unspoilt nature, a world away from the Zinal ski area

Useful information

Starting at the bus stop next to the Mottec Hydropower Plant, the trail cuts across a serene expanse where encounters with chamois are not infrequent. Up to the start of the Tsarmette ski lift, hikers are alone amidst nature. Once out of the forest, the panoramic view is stupendous. With a 940 m vertical drop, the uphill trail is especially strenuous as resting locations are few and far between. From the ski lift start, the trail rambles through the Sorebois ski area and ends just above the Avalanche Training Center where you have an opportunity to test your avalanche safety equipment.
