Locals and visitors from all around Visp meet here to purchase fresh produce and have an "Apéro" at the end of the working day. Colorfully designed wooden booths have been set up weekly for over a year. The farmers' wares displayed at the market are sure to whet every visitor's appetite.
Dried meat from the Valais, air-dried ham, bacon and dried sausages of all kinds, fresh Valaisian vegetables and seasonal fruits, flowers, syrups, smoked trout, Alpine herbs, eggs, mountain honey, Valaisian ryebread and a large spectrum of cheese. A local wine booth set up by 5 Visper vintners, who take turns in manning the booth, and 4 cheese farmers serving fresh, warm Raclette, are are experiences not to be missed.
