23. Morgins télésiège Le Corbeau - Portes de Culet - Pointe de Bellevue

Experienced hikers will love this challenging hike! The culminating point at the Bellevue summit offers an unparalleled feast for your eyes - in a region that already boasts a multitude of spectacular panoramas.

VARIATIONS:

– The variant with chairlift (the one on our main map):

Tour : 4h15, 8km, +420m/-850m

(please visit www.pds-ch.ch to find out if the chairlift is in operation)

To shorten the ascent, we suggest a route that starts with the Corbeau chairlift. From the top of the chairlift, follow the snowshoe sign to Les Ecottis. From Les Ecottis, follow the sign "Portes de Culet - Pointe de Bellevue". When you arrive at the col Portes de Culet, follow the sign "Pointe de Bellevue" parallel to the ridge (but do not approach the ridge because of the brittle blown ridges!).

Enjoy the 360° view during your picnic break on the bench next to the summit cross.

Go back down the same itinerary back to the Col Portes de Culet (do not go down towards Chanso, danger of avalanche on the other side!)

Then follow the signs "Morgins" to go down directly to the village of Morgins.

- The variant without chairlift for the more experienced hikers:

Tour : 5h30, 10km, +750m/-750m

Start near the church in Morgins’ village centre, passing behind the Chez Jan hotel. Take the road to the right of the bakery to Sépaz (about 20 minutes). The snowshoe trail begins just below the antenna tower. At first, you’ll follow the snowshoe signs marked ‘Les Ecottis - Pointe de Bellevue’.

From the pass "Portes de Culet", follow the snowshoe sign "Pointe de Bellevue" parallel to the ridge (but do not approach the ridge because of the brittle blown ridges!).

Enjoy the 360° view during your picnic break on the bench next to the summit cross.

Go back down by the same itinerary (do not go down towards Chanso, danger of avalanche on the other side!) to the Col Portes de Culet.

Then go back down the same way following the signs "Morgins" to the village of Morgins.
