A very nice walk, direct from our chalet, runs diagonally up through the woods opposite and then traverses across at around 1700m before descending along a good track to meet the road to Arolla.  After crossing the road, the path then descends to the riverside, near Les Haudères, before returning to Evolène.  The walk gives fabulous views of the Dent Blanche and Veisivis, as well as the alpage villages of Villaz, La Sage and La Forclaz.
