VERCORIN
Vercorin's position on a plateau high above Sierre in the Rhone valley reminds you of an eagle's eyrie. This holiday resort in the Valais, between the conservation area of the Réchytal and the entrance to the Val d'Anniviers, is famous for its climate, so mild that you can even see cherry trees in bloom. The old houses and barns of this unspoilt mountain village, located at 1330 m, nestle snugly around the Romanesque church tower. Vercorin can be reached from the Rhone valley by post bus from Sierre or by cable-
Not far from Vercorin is the unique natural treasure of the Réchytal, an undeveloped valley with virtually no roads or buildings. With its abundance of edelweiss and varied wildlife, this nature conservation area is one of the most unspoilt landscapes of the Central Valais.

Summer
In this sunny region you can go hiking on over 250 km of footpaths. The Squirrel Path invites you to discover the virgin forest, while the "Celtic Trail" leads you to special trees which played an important role in the Celtic philosophy of life. Another popular excursion is to follow the alpine trail from Vercorin to Grimentz in the Val d'Anniviers, a walk which follows the tree-
At the middle station of the Crêt du Midi gondola, Alp Sigeroulaz, there is fun for all the family in the "Adventure Forest", on the rope ladders and suspended bridges of the longest course of its kind in the area.

For mountain bikers, there are about 170 km of attractive trails around Vercorin. For a change you could also hire a scooter from the Crêt du Midi, or visit the rock climbing area, the sports centre or the paragliding school.
Winter
The gondola lift takes skiers and snowboarders up to the Crêt du Midi (2332 m), where they will find eight ski lifts, 35 km of pistes and a snow park with a half-
