Riddes

Riddes is situated on an alluvial cone of the river La Fare, which flows into the Rhone in the north. The commune area stretches south of the Rhone valley plain far along the steep mountain slope. The village is known for its large orchards and extensive vineyards. Mont Gelé, located in the commune, is the highest point within Riddes at 3023 meters above sea level. In the high mountains there, the mountain lake Lac de Vaux and two other lakes are popular hiking destinations. In winter, the hiking area is transformed into a ski resort with ski schools and freeride trails.

“We had an absolute wonderful time! This company is one of the best. They were very prepared and professional, even providing us lockers, water shoes, and water jackets. The equipment was high quality and made the paddling very easy. The guide was very knowledgeable and took the tour at the groups pace. We never felt rushed or bored. Excellent activity and 10 out of 10 would recommend to others.”
