Vercorin

The charm and authenticity of the village of Vercorin will take you back to another era. Its wooded barns and attics, blackened by time, will enchant you. Vercorin is the gateway to the Vallon de Réchy nature reserve, the "natural jewel of the region". It is surrounded by nature and its panorama of the Alps and the Rhone plain makes it the balcony of the Valais.

Vercorin is a medium-sized ski resort located in the municipality of Chalais. Nestled at an altitude of 1'330m, this mountain village has retained its former charm.

Its history, its cultural wealth, its "raccards", its church and its square, its barns and the house of the famous Swiss painter Edouard Vallet will make you fall in love with the region.

In summer and winter, Vercorin is an ideal place to discover nature and to do sports activities in a magnificent environment. In summer, discover the Vallon de Réchy thanks to several hiking trails, visit the region on mountain bikes or e-bikes and explore the village with a guide or with the help of our brochure "Discover the old village". For families, various activities such as the Adventure Forest, scooters, miniature golf, tennis or the treasure hunt are available.

In winter, get some fresh air by following the winter hiking routes with snowshoes, ski touring or on foot. Go down the ski slopes and the sledging slopes, enjoy the snow garden and the synthetic ice rink as well as many other sports.

While keeping its family spirit, Vercorin organizes events throughout the year to allow you to learn more about the region. You will have the opportunity to discover its traditions throughout the year: from Candlemas to the 1st of August, without forgetting the Inalpe and passing by Carnival, Easter, Christmas and many other festivals!
