Discover the jewel of Geschinersee, only 400 metres from Geschinen railway station

To glide silently over the water while standing on the board cannot be described well enough - try it yourself, with or without an instructor.

The eastern part of the lake is a habitat for various marsh plants and wildlife. The lake feeds birds and insects. The western part of the mountain lake is used for swimming. Guests can relax on the lawn or the beach and there is a barbecue area with benches and tables. There is a footpath along the lakeside which is accessible for baby carriages and wheelchairs as well.

What makes the Valais so special for cyclists is the possibility of climbing legendary passes of over 2000 metres in altitude. In partnership with the national Ride the Alps series, we invite you to discover a different pass during four different weekends in June and September. Reserved exclusively for soft mobility, these giants of the Alps offer the best conditions for safe ascents. 
4 passes - 4 regions - 4 weekends

Trail running routes created by passionate trail runners, from the alpine glaciers to Lake Geneva: the SwissPeaks Trail offers a truly inspiring experience. Participants can choose between various options, including a traverse of the whole of Valais via the alpine passes: 360 km from Oberwald to Le Bouveret. A semi-traverse of the canton leads for 170 km from the Grande Dixence dam to Le Bouveret. But there is something for everyone with trails from 15 to 360 km finishing on the beach at Le Bouveret, taking in dramatic peaks and passes such as the iconic Grammont.
