The Lac de Tseuzier is a reservoir at around 1'778 metres above Sion in the Val de Réchy, distinguished by its secluded setting and the wild mountain landscape surrounding it. Its deep blue water and rarely visited shorelines make it one of the quietest excursion destinations in the central Valais – without the infrastructure of larger tourist centres.

Hiking trails ring the lake and lend themselves to peaceful half-day outings. The path along the northern shore offers views of the rock formations of the Val de Réchy, designated as a nature reserve. In early summer the surrounding slopes are in bloom; in autumn the mountain forests display rich shades of yellow and red. The lake is a popular local destination for families and hikers from the Crans-Montana area.

From Sion, the Lac de Tseuzier is reachable by car via Ayent, a journey of around 45 minutes. There is no direct PostBus connection to the lake shore; the nearest stop is in St-Romain, from where a walk is required. Parking is available at the end of the lake.
