The Château de Verbier

What a view back into the upper val de Bagnes!
Here is a spot in Verbier that is often overlooked and completely missed by most people. Even following the signs it is not obvious to everyone, and one can easily wander right passed it! The château was not a castle, but more of a look-out tower over the valley and the 360 degree views are astounding. All that remains today is a re-built rock wall of ruins. The hike is fun on the ledge between St. Christophe Chapel and the Pierre Avoir.
