Directions
Start first on the ski route to the north then leave it at a bend by continuing straight ahead. After the clearing, take the path to the left that makes a semicircle around the 1822-meter point to then turn south and reach the “snow bar.” Climb the ski slope along the ridge to the top of the Chaux ski lift, then continue always along the ridge before turning left to reach the summit of the Tour de Bavon.
This route can be significantly shortened by using the ski lifts.
Getting there
Exit the motorway at Martigny.
Follow the direction Grand-Saint-Bernard to Liddes.
Turn right after the tourist office.
Reach Dranse then go up to the start of the Vichères-Liddes chairlift.
Free parking at the start of the ski lifts
