Vercorin
Introdução
A posição de Vercorin num planalto bem acima de Sierra, no Vale do Ródano, lembra um ninho de águias. Este resort de férias no Valais, entre a área de conservação do Réchytal e a entrada para o Val d'Anniviers, é famoso por seu clima, tão brando que é possível observar as cerejeiras florescerem.
The old houses and barns of this unspoilt mountain village, located at 1330 m, nestle snugly around the Romanesque church tower. Vercorin can be reached from the Rhone valley by post bus from Sierre or by cable-car from Chalais. There is a little lane leading directly into the Val d'Anniviers (Eifischtal).
Not far from Vercorin is the unique natural treasure of the Vallon de Réchy, an undeveloped valley with virtually no roads or buildings. With its abundance of edelweiss and varied wildlife, this nature conservation area is one of the most unspoilt landscapes of the Central Valais. When Nature slowly begins to prepare for her winter sleep, the stags wake up in the rutting season between September and October, performing a courtship ritual that can be heard from far away.
