Riddes: Croix de Cœur
The Rhône Valley defines the setting of Riddes — a municipality whose territory rises from the broad valley floor into the Valais Alps. High above the main settlement, La Tzoumaz occupies the Savoleyres mountainside and forms part of the 4 Vallées ski area. This sector connects with Verbier across the mountain, while open alpine slopes, lift infrastructure and mountain roads shape the upper landscape. Riddes belongs to French-speaking Valais, where farming communities in the Rhône valley coexist with a long-established tradition of seasonal grazing on high pastures and mountain tourism.

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.

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.
