NAT U RE
The Rhône From its source at the Rhône Glacier to Lake Geneva, the River Rhône traverses the whole of Valais for more than 140 km before flowing into the lake and on towards the Mediterranean Sea. Its lush banks evoke leisurely, refreshing walks with idyllic panoramic views. The only untamed stretch of river is in the Sierre region.
Theme trails and “bisses” Throughout Valais, visitors find fascinating theme trails as well as scenic footpaths along the “bisses”. These irrigation channels have brought precious water from the glaciers to the fields, vineyards and orchards of this dry, sunny region for more than 700 years. The paths along them are mostly easily accessible and often spectacular.
