Golfs

Aigle

Less than 30 minutes away, the nearest is the Golf d’Aigle, which is in fact the Golf Club Montreux. Located below our valley, near Lake Geneva, easily reachable in 30 minutes, this golf course benefits from the climate of the Rhône plain with a sensational view of the Alps.

It’s an 18-hole course. Its length is 6207 meters and its altitude is 395 meters. The club is open all year round, regardless of the season. It is often described as the most beautiful Golf in the Alps, lulled by fresh air and bathed in sunshine. It has the advantage of being flat and offers a very diverse and selective game.

The Golf Club Montreux celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2000. It was inaugurated at the beginning of the century, already in its current location. The course is bordered by magnificent secular trees such as oaks, chestnuts, beeches, pines and birches.

Renovated in 2004 by a renowned architect in the field, the course has preserved its character. The flora was very dense; the architect was able to bring a more modern touch: the layout of the greens revisited, undulations, bunkers, mounds along the fairways; the appearance of ponds, deforestation to reveal the mountains as well as the extension of the circuits thus adapted to the starts of most championships.

Golf de Lavaux

45 minutes from here, the Golf of Lavaux is very easy to reach. In the heights of the charming wine-growing region, the estate overlooks the coasts that produce some of the best wines in the region.

Sierre

It is a route that respects the flora and fauna, where tree and flower species meet. It is surrounded by the banks of the lakes of La Brêche and La Corne. The Valais golf courses have a great richness of landscapes thanks to the surrounding mountains.

Aligned with the fairways, you can admire the foothills of Anniviers, Crans-Montana, even as far as Nendaz, Vercorin, or Nax. You will discover some majestic peaks such as Bella Tola, Bietschorn, Crêts du Midi, La Dent de Nendaz, Haut de Cry, Illhorn, Mont Noble or Torrenthorn.

Throughout the course, golf enthusiasts and those who like to stroll around will follow specially designed trails and admire a multitude of plant and tree species.

Attentive athletes will be able to listen to the rustle of the wings of a large number of bird species.

Thus, in front of you, you will find the highest and best known peaks such as the Matterhorn and Mont-Blanc.
