In the summer, the area of the four valleys is a fantastic area for hiking, mountain biking and touring. The mountain world of the Valais Alps, Lake Geneva and Sion, the capital of the Valais region are all easily accessible.

Between Martigny and Sierre, you will find vineyards, growing up the south facing slopes of the Rhone valley. As this is a country of contrasts, the different terrains produce unusual and great wines. The choice and quality is superb: Pinot Noir from Sierre and Salgesch, Fendant from Sion, Chardonnay from Conthey, Amigne from Vetroz and Humagne Rouge from Leytron. All these places are within a 45 minute drive from our Chalet. The Valais region is proud of its local food products. Cheese dairies abound, fruit and vegetables a plenty and the best of meats, farmed and wild - so much variety to sample and delight the taste, either on your own terrace or in the many mountain restaurants to discover while exploring the region.

An outstanding 18-hole golf course in Sion

At 1900 metres, Les Alouettes is situated close to the start of the Etherolla chair and above the start of the Trabanta chair. So the local slopes and chair lifts are easily accessible - 'Ski in, ski out' from the house is possible in good or fresh snow. Otherwise it is a 100 metre walk to the nearest piste. The Thyon/Les Collons area links in to the wonderful, snow-sure skiing area of the 4 Valleys with over 400 km slopes - a skiing and snowboarding paradise. There is skiing for all levels, from beginners to experts, with a good local ski school and runs for all levels in the local area. High-alpine ski-touring, glacier skiing and cross-country, are all within reach on skis.

‘From all that we have seen in the past years, the whole family always liked les Alouettes most.’ - Markus Stemmer, Switzerland.
