The Upper Val de Bagnesoffers itself to you
What adventures will you choose to have today?
Summer
As you make your way up the Dranse de Bagnes, you’ll come across village names with a lilting sound: Lourtier, Fionnay, Sarreyer and Bonatchiesse are all little corners of paradise, inviting you to forget time and rediscover the pleasures of yesteryear. The Haut Val de Bagnes is an unspoilt natural area with many protected areas, home to exceptional flora and numerous animals. At the far end of the valley, where the road ends, stands the majestic Mauvoisin dam, a testament to the ingenuity and determination of those who built it. Beyond that, you’re in the land of great Alpine crossings, high peaks and glaciers. Your heart beats for the great outdoors? Reach the Cabane FXB Panossière via the Corbassière glacier at the foot of the Massif des Combins (4314 m) and its vertiginous 210-metre-long footbridge, suspended 70 metres from the ground. Or set off, on foot or by bike, on one of the many itineraries in the region.
WINTER
Dominated by majestic peaks, the Haut Val de Bagnes is a vast region with many protected areas. Adorned in white, this unspoilt natural area offers nature lovers unsuspected discoveries. If the marmots have taken up their winter quarters, ibex or chamois may be on your path, as you make your way through the immensity of the Alps. Given the harsh conditions at altitude, wild animals have a great need for peace and quiet. Remember to respect the wildlife’s tranquillity zones, and stick to authorised routes. Ski touring, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and ice climbing are just some of the activities on offer. Looking for a cosy haven in the heart of winter and right in the mountains? The Cabane Brunet is the perfect destination, whether you’re looking to enjoy a fondue after a ski touring ascent or as a starting point for the region’s itineraries. However, be careful not to venture into the mountains without prior knowledge, preparation or without being accompanied by a professional.
