The departure is in front of the Hotel Magrappé. The trail running course begins by running down the Route de Magrappé and then continues through the resort on the Route de Pra. At the end of the Route de Pra, the course continues towards Clèbes along a footpath that offers a breathtaking view of Nendaz.
At the picturesque village of Clèbes, the descent continues on a narrow path shaped by the moraine through the dry meadows. This area is particularly interesting in terms of its wildlife, plants and geological formation.

The Bisse de Salins offers you a pleasant, easy section. Enjoy the suspension bridge over the Ogeintse before starting the ascent through the forest to return to Clèbes. In front of the chapel, the route continues to climb to take the Chemin de Croix and reach Verrey. With its wooden and stone houses, its barns, stables and granaries, the hamlet has kept the appearance of a traditional village in the Valais. The path continues its ascent to reach its highest point at Les Râches. A panoramic bench invites you to contemplate the magnificent view over the Rhone Valley.

On the way back down to Veysonnaz you will cross the sunny meadows of the "Lombardie". The trail ends as it begins - in beauty of course - in front of the Hotel Magrappé.
