Sétéria Bridge Walking Loop

To fully enjoy the tranquility and secure a parking spot, we recommend doing

this sunny hike in the spring or autumn.

In the summer, it's best to set off with the first breezes so you can hear the

morning calls of the marmots. Bounding along to nibble on their breakfast

amidst rhododendrons and tall grasses, they'll gladly accompany you, so

long as you stay quiet.

After pausing to watch them, you pick up the pace and as the path gets

slightly steeper, you sometimes feel the pebbles rolling under your feet.

The few mountain bikers you pass smile at you and seem to say: "just a bit

further and you'll get what you deserve: a stunning view of the lakes and

Dent Parraché, queen of the realm".

When you get to the bridge, you promise yourself that, on your next trip,

you'll go even further.

In the meantime, you can choose to either head back the way you came or

cross the Saint-Benoît torrent to return via the Fournache refuge. Isn't there

a waterfall of the same name a little lower down? Here's a hint: see you

under the Avrieux sun...
