Few municipalities in Valais have a history as closely tied to the Rhône’s arrival in Lake Geneva as Port-Valais. Set at the lake’s southeastern end, this low-lying commune includes Le Bouveret, beside the river delta and close to the French border. The broad water of Lake Geneva contrasts with the steep Alpine slopes beyond the shoreline, giving the area an unusually open lakeside character within the canton. Le Bouveret is home to Swiss Vapeur Parc, a miniature railway park known for its detailed trains and models.
