Tips

Running

The magical, enchantingly blue Lake Moiry is beautifully nestled between the Garde de Bordon, the Corne de Sorebois and the Sasseneire in the Valais Alps. This artificial lake is used for energy production and is simply beautiful. The dam, completed in 1958, is impressive, with a height of 148 meters overlooking the rear of the Vallon de Moiry. The mass of concrete initially impresses, but as soon as you get to the top of the wall, you discover a breathtaking panorama on both sides. There is a restaurant next to the dam and a mountain hut nearby.

Running

On the right side of the lake, you do not have to walk along the shore. There is a path about 300 meters above the lake, including a spring where you can fill up with water.
