Take to the skies above the valley, feel the breath of fresh air and admire the mountains from another angle: a first paragliding flight is an unforgettable experience. Supervised by professionals, flights are available all year round, conditions permitting.
3. Hiking, an infinite field of exploration
More than 200 km of trails wind their way through 6,700 metres of ascent and descent. From family outings to sporting hikes, you can listen to the bellowing of the stag in autumn or watch the mountain blossom in spring. A total immersion in a generous and wild nature.
4. Eaux-vives, the refreshing thrill
