2 ACTIVITIES FROM FEBRUARY TO APRIL 2021 * TAKE A BREATH OF FRESH ALPINE AIR!

Région Dents du Midi, 01.27.2021

Spring is a time of renewal and this spring feels more than ever like a welcome opportunity to start afresh. The crises of last year have only served to spark our creativity and spur our desire to innovate, motivating us to concoct an entirely new approach to events and activities. Our aim is to showcase our traditions, highlight authenticity, and delve into the riches of the natural world with a panoply of highly personalized, scaled-down outdoor activities for groups limited to respect federal and cantonal guidelines. We also promise to make regular and timely readjust- ments to ensure our guests’ safety, in collaboration with the Valais Cantonal First Responder Organization (OCVS).

This ambitious plan is made possible by the generous participation and vast ex- pertise of our many local partners. They deserve our thanks and respect, for their know-how is the guarantee of a truly unique, unforgettable experience.

So, with no further ado, we invite you to set off, on foot, by ski, on telemark, with snowshoes, in an apron or with paintbrush in hand. Countless adventures await you in the quaint chalets, tranquil forests, and stunning landscapes all around us.

We hope you will find inspiration in these pages, then go to our website or the tourist offices for more information.
