Veysonnaz
Introdução
Veysonnaz é um vilarejo montês típico do cantão de Valais, situado numa encosta acima de Sion, com lindas vistas para o Vale do Ródano e para os Alpes berneses. A área para trekking se estende até os altos picos dos Alpes de Valais. No inverno, Veysonnaz forma parte da área de esqui dos "Quatro Vales", com mais de 400km de pistas preparadas.
The little resort of Veysonnaz, located at about 1200 m, is 13 kilometres by road from Sion, the capital of the canton of Valais. Far below is the broad Rhone valley, and opposite, the northern chain of the Valais Alps, with the wide glaciers of the Plaine Morte. To the west, you can see as far as the bend in the valley where Martigny is situated.
Veysonnaz combines a modern tourist infrastructure with its original village features and the authentic way of life of the upland and alpine economy. Taking the cows up the mountain in June and the (bloodless) cow fights between the naturally combative Eringer (Hérens) cows of the Valais are traditions that are still alive and well here.
