Approach

Depuis AFrom Aosta, make your way towards the Great Saint Bernard tunnel and cross it. After having reached Switzerland, go down the valley as far as Liddes. Once you are in the town, turn to your left towards «Dranse - Vichères Bavons». The road continues downhill and, having come to a big hairpin bend, turn left on the Chemin de Dranse. Keep going as far as the Relais de Dranse, where you will park your car.

Description

From the Relais de Dranse, go back up the clearing, your direction SW, to reach the Creux pasture at 1624m. Follow the direction of the main ridge on the Tommelley path and, once you have reached it, keep going southwards. At an altitude of 2160m, follow a traverse, going slightly downhill, your direction SE, to cross the N coombe and reach the E slopes that lead to the summit of Crêta de Vella.

This peak undoubtedly offers one of the best viewpoints on the Combe de L’A, on the Vichères Bavon area and the imposing Grand Combin, that spires on the other surrounding peaks.
