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.

Description

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.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
