Bricola

You can reach Bricola from the villages of Les Haudères, Villa or Ferpècle:

From Les Haudères, you will take a path slightly uphill through the woods to reach Ferpècle (1766m). At this point, you have the possibility to eat at the "Le Petit Paradis" refreshment bar, which is located a few kilometres further on. Afterwards, you can admire the magnificent Ferpècle dam (1882m) before starting the last climb to Bricola (2415m), where you have a magnificent view of the Dent-Blanche, the Mont Miné glacier and the Ferpècle valley. The hike lasts about 3.5 hours and the return journey is by the same route. 

From Villa, you can reach Bricola via La Forclaz. After the village, you will take a small mountain road that will take you to Ferpècle. From there, the route is identical to that of the hikers leaving from Les Haudères. The hike lasts about 3h30 and you can come back by the same way.

As the duration of the hike varies according to the route taken (village of Les Haudères, Villa or Ferpècle), the indications below concern the "Ferpècle - Bricola dam" route.
