Hiking

There's nothing like a bath of Alpine energy to recharge your batteries. No artificial folklore in this authentic valley, but nature in all its states and old wooden houses blackened by the sun. Summer in the Val d'Hérens offers a thousand paths for walking, mountain biking, horseback riding... Unless you simply prefer to go green. More than 500 km of trails criss-cross the valley, which is also a mecca for mountaineering: prestigious huts are the starting point for many races. You follow the bisses, rest by the lakes and waterfalls.
 
In this valley with strong traditions, the cows of the Hérens breed, with their dark chocolate coat, have a temperament. They are unique in the world because they naturally fight among themselves to become queen of the herd.
 
The Val d'Hérens is also a matter of conviviality, from bistros to high mountain refuges.
