Living in valais

Valais, in southern Switzerland, is anchored in this dual reality, deep-rootedness and openness, rural and boundless landscapes, passion and the art of contemplation. Its unspoiled scenery, outrageously blue sky, landscapes of fields and towns and its delightful secret realms reveal its essence and ardour, creating its identity, that of a "true country". Its name, as crystal-clear as its waters and its air, comes from "valais" – the valley created by the Rhone glacier – and has a nice ring and momentum to it.
