activities

hiking

aminona 

start your hike by the old lift station/parking house in aminona and follow the trail up. bring a packed lunch unless burette de la cave du sex is open (book a table before you go). 

 

to chetzeron

I love a hike with an end-goal. walk all the way from town and up to chetzeron for lunch (remember to book a table before you go).

skateboarding at alaia

where else in the world are you able to skate with the swiss alps in the backdrop? only at alaia. 

 

where to eat

chetzeron

buvette de la cave du sex 

where to stay

chetzeron

at the very top of town, you'll find a hotel with (probably) the best view of the swiss alps. it's a bit more of a treck to get to, but an experience in and of itself.
