Visp
Visp is located in the Upper Valais valley at the entrance to the Vispertal. It lies at the foot of the highest vineyard in Europe, which creates a true picture-book panorama around the town. Here the Vispa river flows into the Rotten. The town is considered a perfect starting point for all nature and culture lovers. The surrounding countryside offers great opportunities for active vacationers and well-known cities such as Zermatt, Leukerbad and Saas Fee can be reached in no time. Visp itself is characterized by a large number of Roman Catholic chapels and churches. For all sun worshippers Visp is particularly interesting, because the Valais is considered the sunny region of Switzerland, in Visp there are about 300 sunny days a year.

on Beatenberg paragliding tandem from Interlaken“Amazing time. Money well spent on guide with my travel companion not interested in this activity I was thankful I had someone with me encouraging me and giving me so much historical and local history. I just wish I had known I needed my wallet to on the adventure. I had no idea it didn’t end anywhere near the start! Ithink communication should be improved so tourists know you need to plan your way back UP to the starting point to retrieve your belongings or return your rental shoes, etc. Options area) $7 1way cable car ticket UP to Murren, or 45 min hike back UP to Murren. This was not clear for anyone in our group.”
