Easy to access from Lake Arpitettaz. You will see the Moming glacier which is 3km long and located at an altitude of 2850 m. It is subject to climate change and melts slowly... be careful in these areas in spring.

Trail Reviews

Yvo In Den Bosch
June 26, 2022, CH - Alps - Valais - Val d'Anniviers - Zinal, Roc de la Vache, Lac d'Arpitettaz, Cascade de Zinal

Today we hiked up from Zinal to the Roc de la Vache which provides stunning views on the Turtmann glacier. From there we hiked back down and took a refreshing plunge in the Lac d'Arpitettaz to cool off 😃 and followed the waterfall back to the valley.
