Switzerland's third-largest canton is characterised by its extensive alpine territory. The Dufourspitze, Switzerland's highest peak, and the Matterhorn, probably Switzerland's most famous mountain, rise in the middle of the Valais Alps. In addition, the three largest glaciers in the Alps, the Aletsch, Gorner and Fiescher glaciers, are also located in the southwestern canton. But unique landscapes are not the only strengths of the Valais.
The Valais is said to have a whopping three hundred days of sunshine a year. Thanks to the protection of the surrounding mountains, the valleys enjoy a warm, rain-like climate. The 45 surrounding four-thousand-metre peaks act as a climate barrier, reducing precipitation. As a result, the Valais climate is characterised by cold winters, dry summers, high temperature differences and clear air. Besides vines and fruit trees, cacti thrive here. Most of the winter sports areas in the Valais are above 1500 metres above sea level, and some even break the three-thousand-metre mark. Winter sports can be enjoyed on one of the glaciers all year round, but if you're more in the mood for a change of pace, nature parks and breathtaking wildlife beckon. Unforgettable experiences are guaranteed with the more than four thousand animal species, such as the bearded vulture, the black-necked goat or the ibex.
Apart from its overwhelming mountain and glacier world, Valais has a lot more to offer. As Switzerland's largest wine-growing region, the canton shines with almost sixty grape varieties and numerous well-known wines. The diverse and productive agriculture is the result of the sunny climate, which attracts gourmets from all over the world. Even the famous raclette is said to have been invented in the Valais and, along with dried meat and rye pastries, is the best-known Valais speciality. Water is not only used in the Valais in frozen form. Wellness-ready thermal water flows from the depths of the mountains, stimulating the circulation and relaxing the muscles. In addition, the mineral components counteract chronic joint diseases. When it comes to relaxation, soothing water combined with a view like this is hard to beat. For a little more action, there are countless sporting activities such as mountain biking and hiking or one of the numerous events.
