サンモーリスの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ5

If you're looking for a hidden alpine gem in the Swiss Alps, Lac de Salanfe is a must-visit. Nestled at 1,925 meters above sea level in the canton of Valais, this stunning reservoir offers a peaceful escape surrounded by towering peaks and pristine nature.

A super nice restaurant, local dishes, well not all "Geneva" but so delicious 😋

One of many small refreshment bars, this is a great place to stop and savor the unparalleled beauty of the area, as well as its delicacies. Places like this in the Alps are just as important as the mountains and trails, so be sure to take a break at these places.

The climb to Van d'en-Haut is quite difficult with about 5 km of climbing after Salvan, although you have to climb up here from the valley beforehand. The average slope of this last section is approximately 9 to 10%. The road is a dead end, so there isn't too much traffic.

A spectacular mountain lake located at the foot of the Dents du Midi, offering impressive views of these mountains as well as the wider Valais region. The lake is quite accessible, with a solid road connecting it to the town of Martigny, making it a popular destination during the summer months. This route is a great climb and an even better descent, allowing a diverse range of cyclists to access this stunning location.

An artificial, but beautiful, lake perched in the mountains above the Marécottes ski resort. The lake is a popular place due to its ease of access and the large number of hiking, running and mountain biking trails that start from this location. The lake is located below the large, rocky and imposing Dents du Midi. It is equipped with a small refreshment bar, offering an opportunity to refuel before or after a long run in these magnificent mountains.

Great little hostel

If you want to reach the reservoir you have to climb the steep mountain road up to a 28% gradient, but at the top you will be rewarded with a great panorama.
