Magnifique buvette avec une excellente vue sur une belle cascade ! À visiter lors d'une belle journée d'été. Le service était accueillant et plutôt rapide. J'ai bien apprécié la planchette pour accompagner ma bière. Je recommande à tous les promeneurs de s'arrêter à cet endroit très sympathique !

Lors de notre tour du lac, nous avons fait une halte à cette buvette située idéalement au milieu du parcours. L'endroit est parfait pour se rafraîchir après une bonne marche. L'accueil et le service étaient très sympathiques, rendant cette pause encore plus agréable. Une escale à ne pas manquer lors de votre balade autour du lac.

Petit gîte avec petite restauration (croûte au fromage, planchette valaisanne, …) très sympathique avec une superbe vue sur la belle cascade et les monts alentours.
