Lac Champex - Les Châble
After 3 days of big hiking. This is a rout that will be more of a slow dissent then a long climb. We can adjust it based on peoples flights etc. We end up at the foot of Verbie but prior we will pass Sembrancher where so can start their journey back home and other can enjoy a typical Swiss village before arriving in Les Châble.
