Orsieres

The confluence of the Dranse d’Entremont and Dranse de Ferret defines the setting of Orsières — the meeting of these Alpine valleys has long made the settlement a practical crossroads in lower Valais. Roads and rail connections lead from here towards the Great St Bernard Pass, Val Ferret and the Mont Blanc massif. The wider municipality includes mountain hamlets, pastureland and access to walking routes in both valleys. The Great St Bernard Hospice, on the historic pass road towards Italy, has assisted travellers for centuries and remains one of this part of Switzerland’s best-known Alpine institutions.
