Description: A "transition" stage in this tour of the huts, which allows you to pass from the Moiry valley to the Zinal valley, through beautiful medium mountain scenery.
Directions: From the Cabane de Moiry, start the descent by the same path as the ascent. At the crossroads of the chemin des 2500, take the Fêta d'Août de Chateaupré directly on the right. The path continues on the side of the mountain, on the right bank of the Lac de Moiry. At the height of the wall, it joins the path that goes up towards the Corne de Sorebois. Once at the pass, hear the descent towards the Espace Weisshorn. From there, it is possible to take the ski lifts to reach Zinal. From the village of Zinal, follow the Navisence on either bank. Once at the bottom of the Plats de la Lée, take the small forest road that goes up on the right, with a beautiful view on the waterfalls. Continue to the Cabane du Petit Mountet, which overlooks the Zinal glacier.

Use marked trails only, and observe all signposting – for your own safety, to safeguard grazing animals and to avoid disturbing wildlife. Close gates after passing through. Please be considerate to other trail users, and to the plants and animals. Do not leave any waste in nature.
For mountain hikes:
Take extra care protecting yourself from the sun at altitude. UV radiation can be exceptionally strong, even in cloudy weather. Plan hike carefully: take into consideration fitness level of each participant, weather forecast and season. Weather conditions can change quickly in the mountains, without warning. Appropriate clothing is therefore essential, along with adequate supplies of food and water. In uncertain weather, turn back in good time.
For high-altitude hikes:
Inform others of the route you plan to take. Whenever possible, avoid going alone. Do not venture onto glaciers without a mountain guide. Take note of the warning signs that point out the constant danger in river beds and along watercourses below dams and reservoirs: water levels may rise rapidly without warning.
