Ayent
Museum of irrigation channels
In May a museum will be opened in a wonderful C17th building in the village of Botyre, between Sion and Anzère, to illustrate the history and importance of the irrigation channels.
Saas-Fee
100 years Britannia hut
What in 1912 was a wooden hut with sleeping room for 34 above Saas Fee is today a modern mountain hut that accommodates almost 10,000 people per year.
Thyon
Europe’s highest Disc-Golf course
Enjoy a hike and a game combined: disc golf involves throwing a Frisbee into a metal basket in the lowest number of tries with similar rules to those applicable on a 9, 12 or 18-hole golf course.
Val d'Hérens
First ascent of the Dent Blanche - 150 years
Three 4,000m summits will be celebrating jubilees this year in Valais.
Valais
Family fun in Valais
Two new hiking trails, with names that sound like titles for children’s films, will appeal to the entire family but in particular to children.
