Tour of la Fava

Degree of difficulty: T3

This is a hike in an extraordinary and very diverse setting. It takes you in between the Lapiaz de Tsanfleuron and the Croix d’Achia marl, passing through the green alpine pastures and the Etang de Trente-Pas. The change of scenery is guaranteed. The view of the Derborence pass and the 4000 m Valais Alps is breathtaking.

Once you reach the Alpage de Pointet, you follow the itinerary of Tour des Alpages.

Another option: This tour can be completed by walking up from Glarey to Tsanfleuron via the Hôtel du Sanetsch. If you decide to add this to your walk, we suggest you do the tour in 2 days and spend the night in the Hôtel de Praorochet situated at the foot of the glacier, surrounded by limestone pavements in an almost lunar environment. We guarantee it is unique!
