Valais Switzerland Hiking is run by Valais/Wallis Promotion, an independent company based in Switzerland. The Valais region is known for its premier hiking, especially the famous Mont Blanc route, and this site is a great starting point for planning your own walking or trekking holiday in the Swiss Alps.
Review of Valais Switzerland Hiking’s Website
From Valais Switzerland Hiking’s site, you can browse by Activities to find hiking tours but we also like the Destinations option which lets you select “car free” towns where you can plan a center-based walking holiday. If you want something a little different, look at their trails that follow the bisses, historic irrigation channels that run throughout the region.

- Downloadable or easy to print trail maps
