Itinerary description
Parking at Codo above Mayens de Conthey. Take white-red-white trail to Lodze. From there turn right at every trail crossing. At the very end little detour to Sex Riond (aka Ché Riond) for a panorama of la Vallée du Rhône. From there the finish to join the trail to Codo required fighting some mud and a little exercise on the almost vertical descent off the rocks. Mud wasn't helping at all. Equipped with ropes.
Duration: 6h + stops
Conditions: sunny, more mud than I'd prefer, traverse north of the Mont Gond to la Croix de l'Achia (aka la Croix de la Cha) covered with frozen snow, necessitating crampons, ice pick helped as well - I would have turned around if I hadn't packed for it.
Difficulty: T3
