The Swiss call Valais ‘the Heart of the Alps’. Home to some of the most spectacular mountains in Europe (there’s 45 summits here over 4,000 metres above sea level), it’s a tagline that the region more than lives up to. If you’re looking to get up close and personal with the highest mountains in Switzerland, Valais is definitely where you want to be. There’s the Monte Rosa (aka Dufourspitze), which is the country’s highest of course, but the real icon here, and world’s most photographed mountain, is the Matterhorn. Yes, that is the one on the Toblerone bars.
Unsurprisingly, when you stop and consider just how mountainous this part of Switzerland is, there’s a lot (and we mean ‘a lot’) of outdoor activities to be done here right throughout the year. Last summer, we took GB snowboarding royalty Jenny Jones and presenter Hersha Verity out to the Valais region so that the pair could experience for themselves just some of that sweet adventure magic that’s on offer in the area. Here’s what the two of them, accompanied by our production crew, spent their time doing. It’s also, ultimately, why you should follow in their footsteps this summer.
Our adventure with Jenny and Hersha saw us spend time outside in Region Dents du Midi, Nendaz and Veysonnaz, Aletsch Arena and Saas-Fee. From scenic e-bike rides to restorative forest yoga sessions, from big adventure hikes in the shadow of big mountains to live-long-in-the-memory views of Europe’s longest glacier, our week in the Swiss region of Valais served up everything we could have hoped for (and more). Come with us on a journey as we explore the details of Hersha and Jenny’s Valais trip and also, while we’re at it, shine a light on some activities that will almost certainly inspire you to book an Alpine escape of your very own.
