ヴェゾナの天然記念物・トップ10

There's no access to the springs from the information sign. To get there, you have to cross the bridge and then walk left along a rather overgrown path. The springs are lukewarm. Overall, it's a lovely place for a short break!

shaped by nature itself, the water flows, winding through small streams of translucent water with silvery sand at the bottom.

One of the most famous geological sites in Switzerland. Worth the detour a very impressive piece of natural beauty.

Perched at an altitude of 2,200 meters, Lake Tracouet is also called “Lac Noir” for the dark color of its water. Home to exceptional flora, it has been included since 2001 in the Federal Inventory of amphibian reproduction sites of national importance. In 2020, it was classified as a “protected natural site” by the Canton of Valais. You can easily observe red frogs or Alpine newts. With its panoramic terrace and a well-stocked menu, the Restaurant de Tracouet also makes the place a privileged stopover on any route passing nearby.

Detailed explanations on the website of the State of Valais: "Returned to the wild following several renaturations, this former gravel pit offers an ideal refuge for many species, which have become rare in the Valais plain due to the disappearance of their habitats. Composed of a mosaic of environments (expanses of deep water, permanent or temporary ponds, gravelly banks, reedbeds, shreds of riparian forests, bushes, etc.), the site attracts a particular and varied fauna and flora.

With the bike up close.

Really lovely alp meadow. Worth the little sidetour from Tortin. Seems to be rather busy on weekends though.

Didn't seem very warm to me?
