Anniviers

Few communities in Valais have a history as closely tied to high-Alpine farming as Anniviers. Set in the Val d’Anniviers, the municipality follows the Navizence valley above the Rhône valley, with settlements rising from Vissoie towards Grimentz, St-Luc, Chandolin and Zinal. Anniviers was created in 2009 through the merger of six former municipalities, bringing these mountain villages under one administration. Wooden barns and granaries remain part of the valley’s traditional built heritage, while the surrounding slopes lead into the Pennine Alps.
