From hut to hut via la Tièche hut

On the A9 motorway, take the exit "Sion Est" and follow the signs for Ayent. When you arrive in Botyre, follow the signs for Barrage du Rawil until you reach Les Rousses. The journey takes about 30 minutes from the motorway exit to your final destination.

From Sion station, take a CarPostal bus for Crans-Montana and get off at the bus stop: Ayent, le Creux. You then need to take another CarPostal bus for Barrage du Rawil and get off at "Ayent, Les Rousses" which is the closest bus stop to the starting point of the hike.

There are free parking spaces near the starting point of the hike.

Good walking shoes and equipment for high-mountain walking.

As the weather changes rather quickly at high altitude, it would be better to bring an extra layer of warm clothing.

This hike is relatively flexible, as it allows you to regain civilisation quite easily at each stage of the walk. Another interesting aspect of the hike is that it passes close to various panoramic peaks such as Wildhorn, Rohrbachstein, Grand Bonvin, Trubelstock - peaks you can easily include in your trip if you fancy.

You could also add an extra stop at the Cabane des Violettes.
