Valais region

Finhaut

Finhaut is a municipality in the French-speaking part of the Valais region. It is located in the upper Trient Valley, named after the river of the same name. Four mountain peaks (2674 to 2838 m above sea level) form the border with France to the west and enclose a valley. The Lac du Vieux Emosson is dammed up here. It forms the upper basin and the Lac d'Emosson reservoir forms the lower basin 300 m lower down at 1930 m above sea level. On the path to the Col des Corbeaux at 2400 m above sea level, you can see well-preserved footprints of archosaurs. Three small railroads provide access to the hiking area around the reservoirs.

“Very informative and asy to follow along with the headsets”

Spencer

on Ticket Chateau Chillon in Montreux

“Great weather, beautiful hike”

Bethli

on Wine hike in Salgesch

“An immersive exhibition that touches the soul. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted, staying true to Chaplin's humanism. You feel connected to his world from the moment the film starts at the cinema, before gradually exploring each theme of his vast body of work. A body of work that rises above human foolishness through laughter, poetry, beauty, dreams, and unconditional love. Universal.”

Laurent

“Mike is amazing! He was super helpful!”

Manasa

“I was able to see the city in a different way.”
