Keep a day free and strap on your snowshoes for an amazing hike into the Zinal Glacier !
Lying 2½ hours’ walk from Zinal, the Zinal glacier originates from the meeting-point of 3 glaciers:
- The Grand Cornier glacier
- The Durand glacier
- The Mountet glacier
The glacier has several natural cavities hollowed out by the streams that flow beneath. Access is not possible in summer, but in winter snow-shoes hikes are organised on a regular basis to the glacier.
This hike involves 5 hours’ walking and 500 m height difference, about 11 km.
Only with good weather conditions.
Car Park : Cross Zinal and reach the Plats de la Lée car park (paid parking) at the end of the main road.
Public transport: Get off at the "Plats de La Lée" bus stop.
