Hiking in Switzerland | Le Grammont to Alamont | Swiss Alps Canton Valais | 2020 (4K-Video)

Breathtaking and challenging ridge hike from the summit of Le Grammont to mount Alamont with a magnificent outlook over lake Geneva, the Rhone valley and the Swiss Alps. Please note that there is no official trail connecting the two mountain peaks. We simply hiked accross country following the very challenging mountain ridge. We started our hike at Col de Taney and hiked along the lake Taney to the village. From there the steep trail to the summit of Le Grammont begins. We followed the path through the forest and up to the alp Les Crosses. All along we had a fantastic view on the twin peaks of Les Jumelles. Soon we reached the alpine pass Col des Crosses and the alp En Voyis. From there we took the path to the ridge of Le Grammont. The path is very steep and follows along a vertical drop-off. On the way up we came to an incredible viewpoint. Finally we arrived at the peak of Le Grammont with its amazing 360° panoramic outlook. After a short rest we started the tremendously challenging hike over the ridge to mount Alamont. The ridge is incredibly steep on one side and a mere vertical cliff on the other side. After some terrifying passages we reached the base of mount Alamont were we rejoind the official hiking trail. We continued up and arrived the first peak of Alamont with a breathtaking view on Le Grammont and the ridge that we just passed. Finally we climbed up to the highest point of mount Alamont and had a last outlook on the lake, the valley and the alps. Soon after we had to start our descent back to Col de Taney.
