Cabane de Moiry

Highlight • Mountain Hut

One part is traditional and made of stone, the other is modern and made of wood and metal: The Cabane de Moiry, located at an altitude of 2,825 meters, was built in 1924 and received a panoramic extension in 2010. Now, not only from the terrace, but also from the interior, you can enjoy direct views of the Moiry Glacier and the Zinalrothorn opposite.

More information, including prices and opening hours, can be found at cabane-de-moiry.ch/home.php.

Lake Moiry

Lac de Moiry

Highlight • Lake

The magical, enchantingly blue Lake Moiry is beautifully nestled between the Garde de Bordon, the Corne de Sorebois and the Sasseneire in the Valais Alps. This artificial lake is used for energy production and is simply beautiful. The dam, completed in 1958, is impressive, with a height of 148 meters overlooking the rear of the Vallon de Moiry. The mass of concrete initially impresses, but as soon as you get to the top of the wall, you discover a breathtaking panorama on both sides. There is a restaurant next to the dam and a mountain hut nearby.

From there you have an astonishing view on the Moiry glacier. On our way down we stopped for a snack and a refreshing plunge in …
