  • The Discovery of the Valais Alps
    150 years of winter tourism The discovery of the Valais Alps For a long time, the inhabitants of the mountain regions lived in fear of their surroundings. As the haunt of spirits and demons, the mountains possessed an eerie quality. This view began to change only slowly with the coming of the Age of Enlightenment (from 1730). People began to look at the mountains differently, started to recognise their beauty. The Alps become a natural wonder, a miracle of nature attracting visitors and scientists from all over Europe. The emergence of the railways in neighbouring countries from 1830 onwards played a decisive role in the development of tourism in Switzerland. Although the country was not to get its own rail network for another 30 years or so, Switzerland was already benefiting from rail travel in Europe, which brought tourists to its borders, from where they could continue their journey by stagecoach or the like. The same was true of the Valais. Wealthy British citizens soon made their way here, marking the beginnings of tourism. In 1863, Englishman Thomas Cook played a pioneering role by organising the first-ever package tour to Switzerland, a trip that also took in the Valais, including the Col de la Forclaz, Leukerbad and the Gemmi Pass. The steady expansion of Switzerland’s own rail network stimulated this new travel trend, causing a range of hotels to spring up in all the tourist destinations. The Valais benefited greatly from the Simplon railway tunnel, which opened in 1906, for the railway now brought additional tourists from the south and spread the fame of the Valais and its resorts around the globe.
