Zeneggen

Few settlements in Valais have a history as closely tied to alpine farming as Zeneggen. At roughly 1,370 metres, this small German-speaking municipality occupies north-facing slopes above the Rhône Valley, south-west of Visp. Meadows, larch forest and pastureland make up much of the terrain between the village and the valley floor. The rhythms of livestock grazing and haymaking have long shaped settlement here, with homes and farm buildings spread across several small hamlets rather than concentrated in an urban centre. Zeneggen introduces the quieter mountain communities of Upper Valais, where local life remains closely connected to the slopes.
