Lakes and rivers of the Alpes Vaudoises

Above the village of Leysin, at the foot of the Tour d'Aï, the Alpine lake of Aï is the ideal place for a break in the sun.

Lake Mayen sits serenely between Leysin’s two trademark peaks, Aï and Mayen. In a truly alpine arena, it is a favourite haunt of marmots and chamois.

To relax on the heights, Lake Yaka is an easily accessible walking destination with a view of Lake Geneva.

About an hour and a half walk from the Col des Mosses, the shores of Lac Lioson are the ideal spot for a picnic break.

Nestled on the heights of Gryon, the Lac de Frience is an ideal swimming area to cool off on sunny days!

Nestling at an altitude of almost 1,800 metres, Lac de Bretaye is a natural gem that invites you to contemplate and escape.

This tranquil mountain lake, perched at 1,690 m. offers a unique setting in the heart of the forest.

The Vernex lake is located at the entrance of the village of Rossinière from La Tine.
