All your tastes are in our nature!
Choosing the Val d'Hérens for your holidays means having a taste for nature, adventure, local produce and heritage. Far from the hustle and bustle of the major tourist destinations that surround this unspoilt valley, you'll find here the ideal blend of the charm of authentic villages clinging to the mountains and numerous and varied activities in all seasons. Hike, climb, fly, scale the peaks, hurtle down the slopes, contemplate, breathe, enjoy...
You'll discover a rich terroir enhanced by traditional agriculture that's still very much alive. In these mountains, the land is hard and the work hard. But since time immemorial, the men and women here have been able to extract the best that nature has to offer from every corner of the valley. The result is exceptional cheeses, tasty meats and subtly flavoured plants, fruit and vegetables.
You'll meet the Hérensards, the proud inhabitants of this valley. They will take you on a tour of the heritage that has been handed down to them and of which they are the guardians. Old houses, churches, chapels, raccards, traditional costumes, ancestral carnivals, songs, dances and even a very old language still spoken regularly.
Choosing the Val d'Hérens for your vacations means choosing to meet new people, share experiences and enjoy a convivial atmosphere. Particularly during the many festivals that punctuate the lives of locals and visitors throughout the year.
