Culture and heritage of the Evolène region

Culture and heritage of the Evolène region

Evolène-Région: its heritage, culture and living traditions!

The villages of the Evolène region are inhabited all year round by more than 1700 inhabitants. All of them have a very particular attachment to their region. They love it and preserve it as each generation before them did!

They defend with strength and conviction the traditions and heritage inherited from their ancestors and of which they are the guarantors today.

Sense of welcome, built heritage, local products, folk costumes, local patois, traditional carnival, breeding of the "Vaches d'Hérens",... Each generation has its cause to defend, its tradition to keep alive so that it is not forgotten. 

But they have all understood this. There is no better way to keep one's traditions than to share them and make them discover.

Make the most of it and enter the universe of the evolving heritage with our village guides!
