Solalex
At the foot of the Miroir d'Argentine, Solalex is a corner of paradise to discover all year round. Green mountain pasture in summer, walk in winter.
In winter, several itineraries lead you to this magical and peaceful place. The setting, wild and romantic, offers an impressive panorama of the "Miroir d'Argentine" and the Diablerets massif overhanging it.
In summer, Solalex becomes a green mountain pasture offering peace and quiet to walkers, hikers and cyclists. Hikers pass through during the Tour de l'Argentine, and climbers also climb the famous "Miroir d'Argentine", the largest slab in Europe.
Soak your feet in the crystal-clear waters of the Avançon river, make friends with the goats and cows or share a picnic by the river, it's all here. The place is ideal for families.
Combine contemplation with culinary pleasures at the Miroir d'Argentine restaurant or at the Refuge de Solalex; both offer traditional, carefully prepared cuisine.
In July and August, the "Ateliers de Solalex" present creations of local artists. Several handicrafts, paintings and photos are on display in the hamlet's sheepfolds.
