    Mountain biking

    Perched at an altitude of 2,200 meters, Lac de Tracouet is also called "Lac Noir" (Black Lake) due to the dark color of its water.
    Home to exceptional flora, it has been listed in the Federal Inventory of Amphibian Breeding Sites of National Importance since 2001. In 2020, it was classified as a "protected natural site" by the Canton of Valais. You can easily observe common frogs or alpine newts here.
    With its panoramic terrace and a well-stocked menu, the Restaurant de Tracouet also makes the location a privileged stopover on any itinerary passing nearby.

    A small lake in the heart of the Nendaz ski resort, with excellent views and water that must be freezing. A great place to catch your breath.
