Audio Guide of Pierre Avoi

Being a mountain, access is free 24 hours a day, but the most common route is to take the cable car up to Savoleyres (generally operating from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM in season). From the upper station, you must walk about 45-60 minutes following the signs to the summit; check the lift schedules at Verbier 4Vallées.

Access to the top of Pierre Avoi is completely free and requires no ticket. However, you will have to pay for the cable car ticket if you decide to use it to shorten the trail from Verbier or La Tzoumaz.

If you start from the Savoleyres station, the full excursion (round trip) will take you between 1.5 and 2 hours. If you prefer a more intense hiking experience from the village of Verbier, plan for about 4 or 5 hours.
