Description

Those who want to hike in peace will find this silence in the Vallon de Réchy above Vercorin near Sierre.

This valley is not accessible by any road.

Accordingly, nature is left to its own devices.

Brooks, mountain lakes, fens and a rich treasure of unique mountain plants make the Vallon de Réchy a rewarding destination for hikes. We take the gondola from Vercorin up to Crêt du Midi.

From there, a forest path leads to a wide flat moor.

Like serpentines, the mountain stream follows its natural course here.

Especially in the upper part of the valley the hiker ends up with many rare plant species. The destination of the tour is the beautiful Lac du Louché.

Especially in spring it can happen that nature awakes from its hibernation, but the lake is still frozen. On the way back from the Vallon de Réchy, the view opens onto the Rhone valley and the sun-drenched plateau of Crans-Montana. equipment Solid shoes.

If you dare to jump into the Lac du Louché, don't forget your towel and swimming trunks.
