If you are looking for a thrilling and scenic hike in the Swiss Alps, you should check out Devil's Quille. A path takes you across the Tsanfleuron glacier, from where you can admire the view of the Diablerets mountain group and the Oldenhorn summit. The trail ends at the Tour Saint Martin, also known as the Devil's Keel, a rock spire that rises above the glacier. The hike is easy to moderate, but you should follow the marked trail and wear appropriate shoes. You can also enjoy the free Ice Express chairlift and the world's highest toboggan run at Glacier 3000 Station. This ride will make you feel like you're on top of the world!

A magnificent natural lake, hidden in a wooded valley. The valley itself is a nature reserve, serving as a refuge for the diverse flora and fauna that inhabit this beautiful region.

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.
