Beyond the Beaten Path: Morgins’ Best-Kept Secrets Await
When most visitors think of Morgins, they picture the bustling ski slopes of Portes du Soleil or the main hiking trails that dot the mountainside. But nestled in this Swiss Alpine paradise are treasures that even many regular visitors don’t know about – authentic hidden gems that transform a good mountain holiday into an unforgettable adventure.
At Mountain Plus, we don’t just provide comfortable chalets and holiday homes; we’re your gateway to experiencing Morgins like a local. After years of welcoming families to our properties, we’ve discovered that our most satisfied guests are those who venture beyond the obvious attractions to discover the valley’s secret corners.
The Tranquil Beauty of Lac et Marais de Morgins
Just a short walk from our centrally located properties like Edelweiss A13, you’ll discover one of Morgins’ most peaceful secrets – the Lac et Marais de Morgins. This serene lake and marshland area offers a completely different perspective of the alpine environment, where the only sounds are gentle water lapping and birdsong.
The easy walking trail around the lake is perfect for families – gentle enough for children yet rewarding with stunning reflections of the surrounding peaks. During summer, wildflowers create a natural carpet around the water’s edge, while winter transforms it into a magical snow-covered wonderland perfect for peaceful walks.
Why this matters for your stay: Guests at our chalets like Le Charme 9 can easily access this tranquil spot, returning to luxury accommodations after a morning of peaceful nature immersion.
The Spectacular Hike to Pointe de Bellevue
While everyone crowds the main viewpoints, savvy visitors know about the rewarding hike to Pointe de Bellevue. This documented trail offers unobstructed views of Lake Geneva and the entire Chablais region – a vista that most tourists never experience.
The moderate hike takes about 2-3 hours and follows well-marked paths through alpine meadows and forests. What makes this trail special isn’t just the destination – it’s the journey through diverse landscapes that showcase the true beauty of the Valais region. The endpoint even features a mountain hut where you can enjoy a well-deserved Swiss artisanal beer while taking in the panoramic views.
Mountain Plus advantage: Staying at properties like Chalet Les Dalton, with its proximity to hiking trail access points, puts you perfectly positioned for early morning adventures while ensuring you return to comfort and warmth.
The Hidden Path: Chemin des Ponts du Vallon de They
Tucked away from the main tourist routes lies the Chemin des Ponts du Vallon de They – a lesser-known trail that takes you through a series of charming bridges spanning mountain streams. This gentle path offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and engineering marvels, as you cross historic stone bridges while surrounded by pristine alpine forest.
The trail is particularly magical during spring when mountain streams are at their fullest, and the sound of rushing water accompanies your entire walk. It’s an ideal choice for families seeking something different from the typical mountain hike – offering both natural beauty and interesting historical elements that keep children engaged.
Winter’s Secret: Snowshoeing Beyond the Crowds
For winter visitors, Morgins offers exceptional snowshoeing opportunities that go far beyond the marked ski runs. Local guides have identified several routes that take you through untouched powder snow to viewpoints that remain pristine and uncrowded even during peak season.
These snowshoeing itineraries, documented by local outdoor specialists, offer everything from gentle family-friendly routes to more challenging adventures for experienced hikers. The beauty lies in experiencing the alpine landscape in complete silence, with only the soft crunch of snow underfoot and the occasional call of mountain birds.
Perfect for Mountain Plus guests: Our properties provide the ideal base for winter adventures, with easy access to snowshoe rental and the comfort of returning to a warm chalet after hours in the crisp mountain air.
