Vanil Noir Summit
Highlight • Summit
The level of alpine difficulty of Vanil Noir varies depending on the route chosen. The most common route, from Grandvillard to the Bounavaletta pass and then to the north ridge, is classified T4+1, which means that it is a demanding mountain hike that requires good physical condition, a sure footed and some experience of alpine terrain. The route has exposed sections that are secured with steel cables and chains, but also unsecured sections that are steep and precarious. The route should not be taken in wet or snowy weather as it can become very slippery and dangerous. Other routes, such as crossing the Tête de l'Herbette or climbing the Grande Raye, are even more difficult and require climbing skills and equipment. Vanil Noir is a challenging but rewarding mountain for adventurous thrill-seeking hikers.

Vanil de l'Ecri Summit
Highlight • Summit
The path to the Vanil de l'Ecri is a lot less exposed than the Vanil Noir. Nevertheless, you should be sure-footed and have a head for heights, as the upper part is quite steep. In the Vanil Noir nature reserve there is a large population of ibex.
