Unterbäch VS

Unterbäch combines the calm of a high Alpine settlement with an important place in Switzerland’s democratic story, reflecting its position on a sunny slope above the Rhône Valley in Valais. The village lies at roughly 1,200 metres, where mountain pastures and walking routes shape daily life more than an urban centre. On 3 March 1957, local women were allowed to cast ballots in a federal vote, an action that came nearly 14 years before women gained federal voting rights throughout Switzerland. Unterbäch is therefore remembered as a landmark community in the struggle for political equality. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Valais and the Rhône Valley.
