Le Petit Paradis

Highlight • Cafe

A cozy little restaurant with charm and a lovely terrace. The service was very friendly. The restaurant is built directly into the rock and has an interesting interior.
Beautiful location, right on the glacier trail. We had a delicious mushroom omelet with salad. Ideal for a quick stop!

Ferpècle Dam

Highlight • Monument

A dam impounding a relatively small reservoir, used for hydroelectric power. The reservoir is made up of meltwater from the enormous glaciers and mountain slopes that surround this valley, giving the water of this lake a beautiful turquoise hue. The lake also offers an excellent view of many imposing peaks, such as Mont Miné and its glacier.
