Lac des Autannes

Highlight • Lake

At the heart of the majestic Swiss Alps, in the canton of Valais, is Lake Autannes, an exceptional mountain lake that offers tranquility and an evocative atmosphere. It's hard to resist an extended break along the banks of this small lake, where you can fish. The view of the Moiry Glacier, the Weisshorn and the Dent Blanche is magnificent.

The path that runs alongside the lake has a slightly less steep gradient, inviting you to fully enjoy the panorama. As you move away from the lake in either direction, the terrain becomes steeper.

Col de Torrent

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col de Torrent is located at an altitude of 2,919 metres. The ascent from Les Haudères is quite steep for most of the way, but the trail isn't particularly technical. The descent from the opposite side is just as impressive, with breathtaking views and well-maintained trails that take you close to the beautiful lakes of Autannes and Moiry.

The panorama from the top is simply wonderful, with lakes and glaciers as a backdrop, giving you an extraordinary and immersive view of the surrounding valleys (Val d'Anniviers and Val d'Herens).

Sasseneire Summit

Highlight • Summit

A mountain peak between the Hérens and Anniviers valleys, accessible from these two valleys. The summit is accessible from both sides, with some modest climbing required in places. However, the summit is perfectly accessible to hikers. The peak feels secluded and atmospheric, making it a great goal for a day hike.
