Valser Alps
Vals Cultural and Natural Landscapes
Switzerland’s alpine pastures are a distinctive natural environment, rich in biodiversity. They support a wide variety of plant and animal species, making their conservation vital not only for the local inhabitants but also for maintaining the ecological balance of mountain regions.
Switzerland’s alpine pastures are far more than just stunning landscapes—they are ecological and cultural treasures. These high-altitude meadows are home to a wealth of plant species, many of which are found nowhere else. They also form the foundation of the Valais dairy industry, where cows and goats graze during the summer on nutrient-rich pastures. This exceptional fodder imparts unique quality to the milk, butter, and cheese produced in the Valser Alps.These cultivated landscapes sustain local livelihoods while playing a crucial role in protecting against avalanches and erosion, as well as supporting biodiversity.
For visitors, the alpine pastures offer a perfect escape. Whether hiking or biking, here you can unwind and enjoy the natural surroundings. The sight of animals grazing freely in species-appropriate conditions adds to the charm. Culinary traditions in the region are deeply rooted in these alpine environments, showcasing the close connection between nature and culture.
The Valser Valley is home to five major alpine pastures: Geissalp Peil, Lampertschalp, Leis, Selva, and Tomül.
