The Bayart Tower is the landmark of Saillon. It dominates the Rhône valley and is named after the landowner Madame Bayart. It therefore has nothing to do with Bayard, the knight without fear and without reproach, in reality. The architect Pierre Meinier built the keep on behalf of Count Peter II of Savoy. It is 19m high and has a diameter of almost 10m.

In this valley it is certainly difficult to find a bad view, however, from this location you will have an excellent view of the Borgne de Ferpècle, as well as the many imposing mountains that surround this valley.

A beautiful natural lake, in a distinctly alpine location. From this small, but perfectly formed lake, you can enjoy an excellent view of the Dent Blanche, framed perfectly in this small hollow where the lake is located. On a beautiful day, the lake acts like a mirror, providing a perfect reflection of this mighty pyramid-shaped mountain.
