A pioneering hike in the Valais, the Tour des Dents du Midi owes its reputation to the marathon which has been run here for almost 40 years. You may organise the stages of your walk as you wish, using the various huts along the route for accommodation, to eat meals in or simply to buy refreshments.

The Dents du Midi landscape with its striking contrasts will be your constant companion all the way along this well-marked and well-maintained path. Lakes, waterfalls and fast-flowing streams jostle with forests, scree and high mountain pastures in the attempt to win your admiration. At a bend in the path, you will be surprised by the alarm call of a marmot, the delicate perfume of a flower or the profound silence of the mountain in the early hours of the morning. Ibex, black grouse, chamois, bearded vultures and other of our mountain treasures will persuade you of the enchanting nature of the Dents du Midi massif.
