Valais
Switzerland
Sunny summer morning in Zermatt village with Matterhorn (Monte Cervino, Mont Cervin) peak on backgroud. Beautiful outdoor scene in Swiss Alps, Valais canton, Switzerland, Europe.
Overview
Natural beauty Valais has a tale of rags to riches, of changing seasons and celebrities, of an outdoors so fantastic it's always fashionable. Wedged in a remote corner of southern Switzerland, this is where farmers were so poor they didn’t have two francs to rub together a century ago and where luminaries flock today to sip Champagne cocktails in posh Verbier nightclubs.
