Description

In the Canton of Valais, near Verbier, it is located the Cabane de Valsorey, a mountain hut on the Grand Combin, in the Pennine Alps. In this region, the hut is a popular starting point for mountaineers and climbers who want to explore the massif and its surroundings.

At 3,030 meters above sea level, the refuge is in front of Mont Velan, one of the highest mountains in the area. On this 2-day program, I invite you to explore these spots and enjoy hiking across stunning natural landscapes by taking the trail to the Cabane.

On day 1, we’ll transfer to the commune of Bourg Saint Pierre and start the hike to the hut through the Vallon de Valsorey and the Chalet d’Amont. Once in the hut, we’ll enjoy the spectacular views from the surrounding peaks. Then, we’ll relax at the refuge and spend the night there. On day 2, we’ll descend to Bourg Saint Pierre through the Sentier Panoramique and drive to Verbier by bus or train.

If you think this hike would suit you, consider we’ll face around 1,500 meters of elevation gain at the ascent, so it’s important to be physically fit.

Do you find this program attractive? Don’t hesitate to send the request to make your reservation. I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time hiking around the Grand Combin massif.

I also lead several hiking programs like this one in Switzerland. Check out these adventures to Sentier des Chamois and Cabane Brunet, both near Verbier.

Mountain Leader

Setting off on an adventure on a whim, without a precise plan, walking according to desires and emotions, pushing further to discover what a summit or a ridge reveals. Trained as a business lawyer, then manager of a large sports store, biathlete and trail runner, it was my job as a guide that ultimately allowed me to establish a more structured and secure framework for my wanderings, but without ever losing my wonder and my curiosity. It is with this state of mind that today I like to travel and share the mountains here and elsewhere, preferably roaming, in order to give us time to soak up the landscapes which evolve over time, days and seasons.

I will always be happy to set off on the classic tours, but above all I strive to guide you off the beaten paths.

What people are saying about -Sarah

Frankly, Sarah Kleinknecht is what you dream of having when picking a guide and it is my pleasure to provide a review. My 76 year old mother and I recently went on a 5 day trek through the Alps and it was nothing short of perfect. Sarah is able to perfectly speak 3 different languages however I would argue that her ability to communicate the needs of her clients is her most fluent form of expression. She was easily able to adjust daily excursions depending on weather/ability and planned a life changing adventure. My mother, who as stated is 76, had a perfectly planned course of hikes/trails with challenging yet achievable objectives. Even more so, Sarah is low key a celebrity within the Alps having worked there over 20 years and knew everyone! We were warmly greeted like old friends everywhere we went. She is a positive yet stern guide who keeps safety first yet is always able to provide a laugh. Without a doubt, I would highly recommended Sarah!
