Alpine Paradise Upper Valais
If the Himalayas are the roof of the world, then the Upper Valais can justifiably be called the roof of Europe or at least the roof of Switzerland: After all, 42 of the total 82 four-thousand-metre peaks of the Alps surround the deeply cut Rhone Valley - in the north as well as in the south.

Brig
The historic town on the course of the young Rhone, is the main town of the German-speaking Upper Valais and an ideal starting point for hikes and excursions in the region. The history of Brig is closely linked to the Simplon Pass, which begins just outside the town. In the 19th century Napoleon had it extended for his artillery - the first continuous artificial road in the Alps. Brig's landmark is the baroque Stockalper Castle.
