Randa

Randa occupies the narrow Mattertal valley beside the Matter Vispa river in Switzerland’s Valais canton. The settlement lies on the route between Visp and Zermatt, beneath the high peaks of the Mischabel massif, including the Dom, Switzerland’s highest mountain. In 1991, a major rockfall above Randa reshaped part of the valley and disrupted the railway and road connection. Today, the Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge is a prominent local landmark: at 494 metres long, it forms part of a mountain hiking route above the village. Randa is a practical base for walkers exploring the upper Mattertal and its Alpine terrain.
