A calm and tranquil lake, located in the ski resort of Verbier. During the winter months, the Lac des Vaux region welcomes backcountry skiers, and during the summer it is popular with hikers, cyclists and runners, as well as the diverse flora and wildlife that summer in the Alps offers. For those who are brave enough or a little crazy you can go for a swim to escape the summer heat, I'm sure it's much better once you're in...

A beautiful and peaceful mountain lake, accessible on foot and by bike in summer, and by ski in winter. The lake makes a great destination or distraction for a day of hiking, as the trails leading to it span the entire mountain or valley below, and there is something for everyone. The lake also offers the opportunity for those who want to escape the summer heat to take a quick swim, if you're feeling brave enough!
