Endless forests, majestic glaciers and emerald green mountain lakes: Valais in all its unspoilt glory can best be experienced on a hike on a moraine, where you immerse yourself in the fascinating world of ice flows.
A completely different type of natural habitat can be found in Valais’s nature reserves, where visitors encounter an incredible diversity of plants and animals. And what could be more romantic than a picnic by a mountain lake whose shores are fringed with forests and whose surroundings are reflected in the smooth surface of its waters.
