Departure

From Verbier, take the gondola to the top of the Ruinettes. Then take the Chaux Express gondola and disembark at the intermediate station. Follow the steep path north-east on a ridge. At the foot of the ridge you will reach a three-way intersection. Take the road ascending across the pastures to the east to reach the south-facing rubble slope. From here join the summit of the La Chaux 2 ski-lift. Follow the trail across rubble and sediment in the direction of the Cabane de Mont Fort. Do not follow the path to Mont Fort et Col des Gentianes. The trail follows the south-facing slope at its base. 

Itinerary

Below the Mont Fort hut, you join the Raye des Verbiérins, follow it until it joins the bisse de Levron a little before the Ruinettes. You can continue to follow the bisse below the Ruinettes station until the fall of the bisse and reach Verbier on foot. You are advised to wear good hiking boots and take warm clothing. Even in very good weather it can be chilly at 2500 metres altitude.
