Val d'Anniviers is a valley starting at Sierre, which is divided in two small valleys by the Navizence river and whose inhabitants are the « Anniviards ».

The Glacier wine produced from a particular vine - the raetica grape variety – is a specialty of the region. The principle is the decanting method: barrels are never emptied and each year, new wine is added to the old one. Génépi is also very famous in the region. This white little flower that can be found at high altitudes is protected and constitutes the base of this liqueur.

Val d'Anniviers offers a gorgeous view of the five summits reaching a height of more than 4'000 metres, i.e. Weisshorn (4'506 m), Zinalrothorn (4'221 m), Bishorn (4'153 m), Cervin (4'478 m) and Obergabelhorn (4'063 m). The sight of the « imperial crown » will for sure fill you with wonder throughout your holidays.

The traditional Sierre-Zinal race takes place each year, during the 2^nd week of August. A 31 km long race in the mountains, with 2200 metres ascent and 800 metres descent, and an exceptional landscape.

Villages are composed of chalets typically of Valais, completely wooden with shingle roofs. The charm of these « mazots » (rural buildings) has been preserved through the years.
