A fully preserved nature reserve, the Vallon de Réchy is full of astonishing natural riches: waterfall, meanders, lake, varied fauna and flora, breathtaking landscapes, ... The Vallon de Réchy is preserved from civilization. Without roads or constructions, it offers vast hiking possibilities and is defined as a haven of peace.

The Vallon de Réchy is divided into 3 different levels:

The Lower Valley: after plunging from an impressive waterfall, the Rèche flows between forests, clearings, and alpine huts

The Middle Valley: a rock barrier blocks the valley. Once you cross this natural gateway, the trees give way to vast plateaus covered with moorlands. The alpine meadows then succeed one another in the heart of Ar du Tsan.

The Upper Valley: the upper part of the valley houses the Lac du Louché. This area also acts as a water tower that keeps potable water in reserve for the region’s inhabitants.
