A diverse yellow itinerary run which starts in Lacs des Vaux and leads you back into the Verbier bowl. It’s a fun but challenging run to conquer, as well as being a handy route back to town.

The run starts with a short traverse to the left of the Lacs des Vaux chairlift before hitting a gully which can contain either powder or moguls. You then take a snow path which is cut into the mountain and arrive at a longer traverse further down. After that you can turn left down Col des Mines or go right for Vallon D’Arbi.

The final stretch into Verbier is best done in fresh powder. Once it’s more skied out it will become a more technical bumpy run down. But the view remains pretty awesome whenever the sun is out. 

As it’s a marked itinerary, Col des Mines can often be closed in poor conditions or when the avalanche risk is too high. Don’t be tempted to pass through the netted barrier at Lacs des Vaux if it’s been pulled across the path.
