Nestling below the snow peaks and glaciers of Mont Blanc, the Grand Combin and Dent Blanch, Switzerland's Rhône valley offers some stunning scenery and superb gentle walking, using the cable car network for uphill stretches! Here in the Valais we visit the vine covered slopes of Martigny, Sion and Sierre, bathed by the warm Foehn air stream beneath the highest Alps. We walk through flower filled meadows, cow pastures and cool woodland with panoramic views to the high peaks beyond. Local dishes include raclette, fondue, lake fish, blueberry tart, tomme and gruyère cheeses, and dark nutty Valais bread.
