Kanton Wallis: The Ultimate Must-Sees

Valais is home to the highest peaks in the Swiss Alps and the world's tallest gravity dam, the Grande Dixence. This collection features the historic Great St Bernard Pass, where the famous rescue dogs were bred, and the expansive 4 Vallées ski area. Visitors can explore the Aletsch Glacier region via the Eggishorn viewpoint and the glacial Märjelensee, or walk along the Bisse de Vex, a traditional 12-kilometer irrigation channel. High-altitude passes like the Antronapass provide historic trekking routes connecting Switzerland and Italy.
