Salgesch

Salgesch is the largest wine-growing community in the Upper Valais and is located near the French-speaking Lower Valais. More than 40 wineries produce almost 90% red wine here. Thanks to a unique microclimate and soils rich in magnesium and limestone, the wine achieves a special quality that is widely appreciated. The village, with about 1200 inhabitants, is nestled in a setting of more than 200 hectares of vineyards. The hilly area is largely located on the Rhone River. The northern slope stretches up to 2100 meters above sea level below the Varneralp. The surrounding area offers many opportunities for hiking and mountain biking enthusiasts. White water rafting is popular on the Rhone.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My first-ever paragliding experience in Interlaken, Switzerland, and it was absolutely amazing! 🇨🇭🪂 The views were breathtaking, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. A huge thank you to my awesome pilot, Tinu, for making me feel safe and comfortable the entire time. He was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience so much fun! And of course, my “George Clooney look-alike” pilot 😂 Definitely one of the highlights of my Switzerland trip. I would 100% do it again! Danke schön, Tinu! ❤️”
