Loading in progress ...

Walk to the François-Xavier Bagnoud Observatory, located 100 meters to the right of the funicular’s arrival point. Then take the Chemin des Planètes, which leads to the Hôtel Weisshorn. Twenty minutes past the hotel, on the Sierre-Zinal trail, you can climb up to Pluto and take in the magnificent scenery.
1.
From Pluto, continue the hike to the Nava mountain pasture and head to St-Luc via Copaté and the Prilett (3 hours—moderate difficulty).
2.
Extend the hike to Zinal. The final descent to Zinal from the Barneusa mountain pasture is quite steep. You can take the PostBus from Zinal back to St-Luc (3h30 – moderate difficulty).
3.
Return to St-Luc directly below the Hotel Weisshorn via Gillou, the Valais Center (balance point), and the Prilett (1 hour 30 minutes – moderate difficulty).
4.
Return to St-Luc via Les Girettes. Shortly after the Toûno/Chiesso mountain pasture, turn left (2 hours—easy).
5.
Return to St-Luc via Les Cascades. Just before the Toûno/Chiesso mountain pasture, turn left (2 hours—difficult).
