Route de Mauvoisin
N/A
This is an absolutely spectacular site to be seen. If you’re in Verbier or Le Chable, take the city bus out to Mauvoisin to check this out. The city bus is free with the Verbier play card (available from your accommodation) and the bus does accommodate bikes (if you’re shorter than me 5’4” you’ll need a step stool or ask someone to help you). If you’re a mountain biker, you can ride around the lake (or as a hiker you can hike it) but note the short route is 17kms long and 1700m of elevation so be prepared. Another really cool thing about this dam is that the walking/riding trail winds in and out of tunnels. The tunnels are dark, cold, water is dripping so it’s eerie yet breathtaking. The waterfall from the inside of the mountain out into the lake is loud yet calming. It’s a great feature to this already wild site. Lots of information about the dam is available throughout the main area as well as artwork. Safe place for families as it’s fully secured (you cannot fall into the water or over the dam). I would recommend this tourist attraction!

Go see the dam at Lac de Mauvoisin is a reservoir in the canton of Valais it’s amazing, the view was worth the scary drive up in a public Post Bus, we took our bikes back down to Lourtier after viewing the dam and beautiful mountains and valleys. Worth the visit From Wikipedia; Lac de Mauvoisin is a reservoir in the canton of Valais, Switzerland. The reservoir is formed by the Mauvoisin Dam, which is 250 m high.

Très peu fréquenté en plein hiver, l'accès au barrage est parfois avalancheux et la route coupée par d'importantes coulées!
Tres beaux barrage de 250m de haut 500m de long vue tres jolie plusieurs cascades se jette dans le lac
Superbe découverte!
superbe ballade nombreux passages creusés dans la montagne mes enfants 12, 15 et 17 ont adoré parcours autour du lac sentier parfois vertigineux,. des cascades partout, certaines surgissant de nulle part au milieu des rochers 1 km en aval, départ de plusieurs vie ferrate. équipement indispensable pour les échelles, marches suspendues et tyroliennes hauteur du niveau du lac minimal en mars et maximale en octobre
