Vex

Vex has served as a mountain-farming community in Valais since the Middle Ages. The municipality occupies slopes above the Rhône Valley, near the entrance to Val d’Hérens, where the terrain rises quickly toward the Pennine Alps. Its scattered hamlets retain the settled, agricultural character of this Alpine side valley, while the Thyon ski area connects the municipality with winter-sports terrain above Sion. Traditional Valais farming is reflected in the region’s bisses, irrigation channels built to carry water across dry mountain slopes.
