Starting at the Le Miedzor restaurant, whose terrace overlooks the golf course, this pretty circular trail gets a lot of sunshine. You'll also spot plenty of pedestrians enjoying the snowy golf course as you make your way around. One of the oldest courses in Switzerland, it is also ranked as one of the most beautiful in the world and has hosted all the top players.
Once you arrive at the part of the golf course called Snow Island, you’ll find a true paradise for children: beginners ski pistes, snowtubing, sledging and the “Maison de Bibi”, which welcomes kids with a host of free activities and events. Meanwhile the adults take a pit stop in the snack bar with its pretty terrace. The view is breathtaking and you can admire the highest peaks, from the Matterhorn to Mont Blanc.
Make your way along the far end of the “Etang Long” lake, a particular favourite amongst ice-skaters. You’ll arrive at the “Sporting”, another restaurant with a sunny terrace. From here the starting point of the loop is only a few metres away.
