Inleiding
Idylle in het natuurgebied rondom het Lac de Derborence, gevolgd door een klim via het Lac de la Forcla tot op de Col de la Forcla. Bij de afdaling kijk je uit op de machtige bergwanden van de Grand en Petit Muveran naar Ovronnaz, waar je je kunt ontspannen in de warme thermale baden.
Beschrijving
Nestled beneath the Les Diablerets massif is the Derborence nature reserve. In 1714 and 1749, enormous masses of rock broke off and fell into the valley of Derborence, where they have since formed a 1.8-kilometre-wide barrier. This created Lac de Derborence and a pioneer forest of larches, mountain pines, birches and spruces. Some trees that survived the landslide are now over 600 years old. The nature reserve of national importance is home to one of the last primaeval mountain forests.
At Lac de Derborence begins the long hike to Ovronnaz. You hike uphill into the rocky valley of the Dorbonne. There you follow the stream to Lac de la Forcle. On the way, you pass the Gite de l'alpage de Dorbon, a small mountain restaurant that invites you to take a break. After three and a half hours, you reach Lac de la Forcle. You get to a second small lake and the Glacier de la Forcle on the right lakeshore. Cross the small glacier on the right side before climbing the last 50 metres to Col de la Forcle. At the top, fantastic panoramic views of the Valais's 4000-metre peaks open up.
From the Col de la Forcle, you first descend 150 metres, only to climb about a hundred metres again to just below the Cabane Rambert, a hut operated by the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC). The SAC hut offers a place to rest and can be used as an overnight stop to divide the long stage into two days. The views and the idyllic setting around the remote hut are fabulous.
From here, you have 1,200 metres to descend. After a few bends, you reach Plan Salentse, a small high plateau. Follow the stream of the Salentse, which rises slightly above, to the next small plateau at Plan Coupel. The route continues steeply downhill via Le Pessot, where the vegetation begins to change from Saille onwards. Depending on the season, the plain of Saille is dotted with wild flora, sometimes so tall that you can hardly see beyond the path.
The last hour of hiking takes you down to the tree line and Ovronnaz. The municipality is a small holiday and spa resort on the Valais's sunny southern terrace and is known for its three thermal baths and the panoramic views of the Rhone Valley and the Alpine chain behind it.
De sleutel voor een prettige wandeltocht is onder andere een zorgvuldige planning. Win op voorhand inlichtingen in bij de plaatselijke informatiedienst over de toestand van het traject en de weersomstandigheden. Afhankelijk van het seizoen en de weersomstandigheden kan de route gesloten of onderbroken zijn.
