Author\s note
To extend the walk, you can do part of the Sentier du Devin.
Directions
Your route starts at the place called « Le Signal » and initially follows the direction of the Sentier du Devin. The path then climbs in switchbacks up to the Belvédère chalet. Follow the trail leading to the Catogne for 1 kilometer, then take the path that descends quite steeply to the left and will lead you to Champex-Lac. To avoid this descent, the return by the same path is of an easy level.
Getting there
Exit the motorway at Martigny.
Follow the direction of Grand-Saint-Bernard then exit the main road at Orsières and follow Champex-Lac.
It is also possible to exit the main road at Bovernier and go through the Valettes but the road is narrow and very winding.
Free parking near the lake.
Take the train to Orsières then the bus to Champex, stop “Le Signal”.
