The incredible Valais descents offer skiers unadulterated and endless fun. The descents are up to 25 kilometres long – non-stop, without ever having to use a ski lift. 

Whether you arrive by public transport, car or plane, the Valais offers outstanding transport connections in all directions and, since the opening of the Lötschberg Base Tunnel, is even quicker to reach than before.

The beauty of sledging is that anyone can do it. And it offers fun for all. A toboggan run is thus the perfect winter activity for young and old, large and small. Toboggans can easily be hired at the valley stations. 

The high Valais valleys and its frozen lakes make an ideal setting for cross-country skiing. The immaculately groomed trails offer innumerable possibilities and perfect conditions for everyone, from sporting types to nonchalant amateurs.

The Valais region is a unique natural playground and an oasis of relaxation and recreation for families. Breathe deeply, explore and enjoy – for Valais will surprise you with its wide range of activities and family-friendly infrastructures that will turn any holiday into an exciting time for all the family. 

A winter paradise for skiing, somewhere between heaven and earth. The majestic four-thousanders form a magnificent setting dedicated to winter sports. If you like winter, you’ll love Valais! 

Ascents across pristine white landscapes and thrilling descents over untouched fields of powder snow promise a boundless sense of freedom. 

With vineyards covering 5,000 hectares, Valais is the largest wine-making region in Switzerland: magnificent landscapes with unusually sunny hillsides, almost 60 grape varieties that form the basis for a number of great wines, and traditions that lend them character and identity. 

The hot water bubbles up from deep beneath the Valais mountains and offers utter bathing pleasure. Soothing and relaxing – the thermal baths are veritable oases of revitalisation.
