시에르‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

I did this hike in early May 2024, just a few days after the ski season was over and the slopes had closed. The valley was completely deserted and it felt magical! The peaks were still covered in snow, but the first signs of spring were beckoning. On the final stretch to Lac d'Arpitetta, I was wading through snow up to my knees. Without proper gear I couldn’t get any farther than the small lake. The view on that crystal-clear spring day was absolutely fantastic! Check the picture I uploaded with all the peak names added.

Beautiful view on the other side if rhône valley. On suisse national day, 1st of august, they often do a water/laser show here.

A beautiful area close to the glacier

The impressive view of the summit parade from the Matterhorn to Mont Blanc and a particularly diverse range of activities throughout the year are the assets of the two twin towns. Five idyllic swimming lakes, spicy-smelling mountain forests, the extensive network of hiking trails or a cozy fondue evening in a rustic restaurant are examples of family-friendly, nature-oriented Crans-Montana. With 177 kilometers of marked trails, two downhill routes and the Kona bike park, the mountain biking offer in Crans Montana is excellent. The place is a popular starting point for training rides for cyclists.

The lake is worth a visit in summer and winter. In the waterfront cafes you can relax after a tiring climb and enjoy a hot soup in winter or a refreshing drink in summer.

The bike ride around the lake is very pleasant, there is a path and you can enjoy the view of the lake itself, the forest and the surrounding mountains. Entrance is free and you can also swim in the lake.

Lac de la Brèche is famous for its crystal clear waters and its surrounding landscapes. The water is very clear, during warmer periods you can enjoy a quick swim. There is a small pier nearby where you can rest or sunbathe. Access is free, there are no amenities, please take all trash with you.

The hiking trail around two small lakes crosses forest green spaces mixed with vineyards and private properties (access to the trail is open!). A flat, calm and pleasant walk.
