This aerial trail from the departure station of the Tracouet gondola takes you to the 'Dent de Nendaz' followed by a passage over the mountain ridges to the 'Basso d'Alou'. After a rather technical descent, the return to Tracouet is along a wider dirt track. It is a technical route with steep amd aerial passages. Not appropriate to those subject to vertigo.
