Pointe du Tsaté is the closest 3000m peak we have from Alpiness coliving. As you can imagine, it’s quite a workout to hike all the way to the top but you’ll be rewarded by incredible views of Val d’Hérens, the neighbouring valley Val d’Annivier as well as a lot of the 4000m peaks of the alps.

The hike usually starts in the small village of La Forclaz, 5 minutes drive away above Les Haudères (the village where Alpiness coliving is located). Of course, if you feel like doing 200m more elevation and extend the hike by an hour, you can also start directly from the coliving. If you’re not a trailrunner, it’s more of a full day hike as it will take you between 4-6 hours to complete the round trip. But the landscapes you will have all along the way are well worth the efforts. Beautiful mountain pastures, lakes, traditional houses, wildlife, incredible peaks… everything the alps have to offer!

Just to wet your appetite a bit, here are a few pictures of this hike:

But just be aware that this hike is more than 10km with 1300m to 1500m of elevation depending where you start. Not really your sunday walk in the park 😉 . If you need more detailed infos about this trek, you can check our detailed blog post on our travel blog:
