A few hours from France, the Val de Bagnes<\/a> grow a Switzerland<\/a> a very much alive mountain landscape. Around Verbier and La Tzoumaz, paths follow ancient irrigation channels, mountain huts overlook glaciers, alpine pastures can be visited at the pace of the herds, and raclette can be enjoyed all year round.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, the change of scenery isn't down to elaborate staging. It comes first and foremost from the landscape. Villages clinging to the slopes, pastures grazed by H\u00e9rens cows, high-altitude paths leading to mountain huts, and that very Swiss blend of precision, tradition, and managed nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bisses, living memory of Valais<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Valais, the *bisses* tell a part of the local history. These ancient irrigation channels, developed from the Middle Ages, carried water from the glaciers to the valley crops. Several are still maintained today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
