The route ends at the alpine restaurant Cantine sur Coux, a welcome refuge in the snowy forest.

Tour des Dents du Midi
A multi-day loop around a 3-kilometre-long massif of seven summits all exceeding 3,000 metres — dominated by the Haute Cime at 3,257 m — the route threads through craggy passes, crystalline alpine lakes, glaciers, waterfalls, and forests while the jagged silhouette of the Dents du Midi looms overhead, visible from the Illiez and Rhone valleys alike. Inaugurated in 1972, this pioneer of Valais walking tours traces its roots to a mountain running race that shaped the path for nearly 40 years.
