Hiking
Lac d'Aï is a small alpine lake located above the village of Leysin in the Swiss Alps. It is located at an altitude of 1892 m. It is fed by a stream which has its source at the Tour d'Aï, a rocky peak which rises to 2330 m. The lake is surrounded by forests, meadows and rocks, and is home to many marmots playing hide and seek among the rocks. The lake is a popular destination for hikers who can enjoy the scenic views and tranquility of the place.

Running
Lake Aï offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. You'll need to climb approximately 2,300 feet of elevation gain, and be prepared to tackle tight switchbacks and loose rocks along the way. The reward is a refreshing swim in the crystal clear water of Lake Aï, a glacial lake that is one of the highest in the Alps. Don't forget to bring enough water, snacks and sunscreen, and enjoy this incredible trail race!
