Liddes: La Vuardette
Built around high alpine pastureland, La Vuardette developed into an upper sector of the Vichères-Liddes ski area above the Val d’Entremont. This broad, treeless mountainside belongs to the Pennine Alps and lies above Liddes, a municipality on the valley route toward the Great St Bernard Pass. The pass has long linked Valais with Italy’s Aosta Valley, and its hospice, founded in the 11th century, gave the crossing an enduring place in Alpine travel. La Vuardette reflects the working mountain landscape of this part of Valais, where grazing ground and lift-served slopes share the same high terrain.

Liddes sits in the Val d’Entremont beside the Dranse d’Entremont in Switzerland’s Valais, where a narrow Alpine valley rises toward the Italian border. This scattered mountain municipality includes hamlets and high pastures, with the slopes around Vichères forming the Vichères–Liddes ski area. The main valley road follows a historic transalpine route toward the Great St Bernard Pass, one of the classic crossings between Switzerland and Italy. Summer routes lead into the surrounding side valleys, while Liddes retains the working character of a Valais mountain community.

Valais combines high-alpine terrain with vineyard-lined valley life in a way that reflects its position between the Rhône Valley and the Pennine Alps. These coordinates lie in the Val d’Anniviers, a side valley where the Navizence flows north towards the Rhône and long-settled communities occupy slopes beneath high peaks. Across the canton, mountain pastures, glaciers and celebrated summits shape daily life as much as the broad, productive valley floor. Valais is also Switzerland’s leading wine-producing canton, and its historic bisses—open irrigation channels—show how generations adapted dry sunny slopes for cultivation.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
