Valais stands in the middle of the Alps, meaning it’s a high altitude destination. This guarantees us snow during winter, and our winter portfolio not only includes ski, but also a wide range of winter activities going from fondue in a gondola, to excursions off the beaten track, as well as relaxing in the largest thermal destination of the Alps – Leukerbad. To avoid the crowd, January and March are perfect.
But keep in mind, we do not only have summer, but Indian summers in the region. Meaning the season lasts until the end of October.
