Valais

Carte du Valais

A wonderful region south of the country, definitely my favourite. A microclimate makes it Switzerland's sunniest region, together with italian-speaking Ticino.

Famous abroad for its wine and fruits, and for resorts like Zermatt, Verbier, Saas-Fee. I personally prefer to hike in less touristic places, like the Val Ferret, just at the border with Italy and France. Other authentic valleys are Val d'Hérens, Val d'Anniviers and Val de Bagnes.
