BALADE: FOREST FLOW

From Médran, hop on a shuttle to Route de la Marlène, where the walk begins. Mountain guide Cherries leads the group through forest trails with views over the Val de Bagnes, passing the historic Bisse du Levron. The destination is the Verbier Festival Forest, where live music blends with the sounds of nature. In a forest clearing, Alessandra Cossu—mindfulness coach and sound explorer—guides a sensory experience using alchemical crystal bowls. A calming moment in the shade of the trees.
