Hiking in Switzerland | Lac de Derborence via Montbas | Swiss Alps Canton Valais | 2020 (4K-Video)

Hiking through a wonderful autumn landscape in the alpine valley of Derborence. We started our tour at the lake Derborence rest area under a cloudy sky and walked uphill and towards the rockslide area from 1749. In that year 50 million cubic meter of rock slid from the Diablerets massif into the valley. The entire area has now become an impressive nature reserve. After crossing the enormous scree field, we reached the alp La Combe d’en Haut. As we continued, the weather cleared and the sky opened up. When arriving at the alp La Lui d’en Bas we were rewarded with a bright blue sky and sunlight. This was very helpful because now the path became more steep and challenging. As we continued deeper into the valley and soon reached the Lizerne river which we had to cross. After a tricky crossing, we reached the opposite mountain range and followed the path towards the alp Montbas Dessus. From there a long descent brought us finally to the lake Derborence. It was a breathtaking view to see all the surrounding mountains reflected in the water of the lake. From there we ended the hike at the Derborence rest area.

Tour itinerary
Our hike starts at the Derborence rest area (1464m) near the lake. We follow the path up and through the scree field until at the alp La Combe d’en Haut (1444m). We continue a bit on the road and then back on the trail towards the alp La Lui d’en Bas (1495m). From there the path is more challenging and requires good hiking skills. At the furthest point of the tour we cross the Lizeren river (1592m). On the opposite side of the mountain, the path leads back to the alp Montbas Dessous (1553m). From there a long steep descent brings us to the lake Derborence (1451m) and finally back to the rest area.
