サルヴァンのおすすめツーリングルート

This church is one of the most interesting examples of Carolingian art found in southern Switzerland. Built of natural stone, the church impresses with its austere Romanesque style. Although it was first mentioned in 1153 in the papal bull of Pope Eugene III, it was already over a hundred years old at that time. During the excavations carried out during the last restoration work (1963-1967), François Olivier Dubuis, abbot and cantonal archaeologist, was able to confirm that the entire building dates back to the first half of the 11th century. Only the two floors of the octagonal tower, made of brick and tuff, were built somewhat later.

Beautiful

If you're looking for a hidden alpine gem in the Swiss Alps, Lac de Salanfe is a must-visit. Nestled at 1,925 meters above sea level in the canton of Valais, this stunning reservoir offers a peaceful escape surrounded by towering peaks and pristine nature.

Three-aisled Romanesque church from the 11th century with an octagonal crossing tower. It is built from rubble stones from the limestone, marl and siliceous slate found in the area.

Old Valais wine village with beautiful, old houses. Since 1993 it has been a book village with antiquarian bookshops and a book festival.

The Wine Route, ideal for a wine tourism outing in the Valais Vineyard. The Vineyard Cycle Route is also a very nice option (Ps I have a collection on this subject)

Less brightly colored than its big brother on the lower floor, it is nevertheless interesting and the path that goes up to it (alternative to the road) is absolutely magnificent.
