Riddes

Riddes sits beside the Rhône in Switzerland’s Valais canton, where a cultivated valley floor meets the steep northern slopes of the Alps. The commune stretches from the river plain towards higher ground, including La Tzoumaz, the mountain resort above the valley. Its slopes form part of the 4 Vallées ski area, connected with the wider Verbier domain, showing how quickly this agricultural corridor gives way to high Alpine terrain. Riddes belongs to French-speaking Valais and lies on the Rhône valley’s rail and road route between Martigny and Sion. Vineyards, orchards and mountain infrastructure share the same municipal territory. Browse nearby webcams to gain a broader sense of Riddes and the Rhône valley.
