Visp

Tucked into the upper Rhône Valley, Visp is a town whose character is shaped by the meeting of the Vispa and Rhône rivers. Steep, vineyard-covered slopes rise above its compact centre, while the wide valley floor carries major rail and road routes through Valais. Visp is an important interchange for trains on the Rhône corridor and for the Matterhorn Gotthard Railway towards Zermatt, giving the town a practical role in Alpine travel. Its old quarter retains narrow lanes and St. Martin’s Church, evidence of a settlement that existed long before the modern transport hub. Valais is Switzerland’s leading wine-growing canton, and vineyards remain part of the landscape around Visp.
