Evolene

The Val d’Hérens, through which the Borgne flows, defines the setting of Evolène — steep Alpine slopes concentrate homes, fields and roads on the valley floor, while high pastures remain central to local farming. The village lies in French-speaking Valais, in a side valley south of Sion, and its older fabric includes dark timber houses and raised wooden granaries. Evolène is also associated with the Hérens cattle breed: traditional cow contests help establish rank within a herd. Walking routes continue deeper into Val d’Hérens, including towards Arolla and Ferpècle. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Valais connects regionally.
