Ried-Brig

Ried-Brig occupies the sunny northern slope above the Rhône Valley in Upper Valais. The municipality lies immediately above Brig, where Alpine routes have long converged toward the Simplon Pass. Its hillside setting gives the area a clear mountain-valley character, looking across the broad Rhône corridor towards high Alpine terrain. In nearby Brig, the 17th-century Stockalper Palace recalls the influence of merchant Kaspar Stockalper and historic trade over the Simplon. Ried-Brig belongs to the German-speaking part of Valais, distinct from the canton’s French-speaking west.
