Welcome in Valais

Convention & Incentives:

Your Success is Our Business.

Basic courses, summits, congresses or retreats: no

Alpine setting is more ideal for meetings than Valais

– away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life

and (via the Lötschberg Base Tunnel) closer than ever.

Amid a landscape of fascinating contrasts between

charming valleys and snow-clad peaks rising above

4,000 meters, our destination offers infrastructure

and services that make for harmony between work

and pleasure: after workshops, participants can enjoy

hiking through vineyards or cheese-tasting in the Ice

Pavilion. Chalets offer traditional ambience with cut-

ting-edge IT facilities, and there are locations like the

Matterhorn glacier paradise mountaineers’ lodge with

Valais’ highest seminar room (3,883 meters above sea

level). Our goal: to give every meeting an extra sparkle,

making it far more than just a business event. Reliabi-

lity, from planning to staging – with hospitality that

inspires visitors to flock here from all over the world.

Meeting in Brig

➤ Brig: where Valais comes together.

Brig lies where the famous Glacier Express links Zermatt with St. Moritz. Or where people from Geneva and people from

Bern meet on their way to Milan to shop. Which means in Upper Valais, at the foot of the Simplon Pass. In the east, you

travel through the Goms over the Furka Pass to central Switzerland. In the north, the Grimsel Pass takes you to the

Bernese Oberland and, in the south, the Nufenen Pass leads to the canton of Ticino. The hiking areas and the nearby

Aletsch region make the little town an attractive holiday, thermal spa and conference destination. However, Brig is also

famous for the Stockalper palace, regarded as Switzerland’s most important baroque palace. But there is also much to

experience in the old town with its imposing patrician houses, enticing restaurants and attractive hotels. And a visit to

the Gardemuseum will tell you all about the 500-year history of the Papal Swiss Guard in Rome.

Year-round tip:

Gorge Alpine means canyoning wit-

hout water! Safely secured with rope

and climbing harness, the adventu-

rous tour takes you through the wild

and craggy, ice-covered Fee Gorge

between Saas-Fee and Saas-Grund.

Summer tip:

With the Citizen’s Pass (as the visitor’s

card is known in the Free Republic

railways and the PostBus are free of

charge. So make yourself at home

here during summer in Switzerland’s

largest all-inclusive region.

Winter tip:

The Saas Valley is so high that snow-

fall here is more reliable than in most

Alpine skiing regions. And thanks

tes of the Free Republic of Holidays

Saas-Fee are among the most spec-

tacular of all.

www.lapostevisp.ch

Year-round tip:

The “Pürumärt” is a farmers’ market

and Friday evening meeting point at

which you can get yourself in the

mood for the weekend with Valais

specialities. It is also an opportuni-

ty to sample and buy fresh regional

products.

Summer tip:

Visit the highest vineyard in Europe

and afterwards treat yourself to a

sip of wine! The wonderful wine goes

by the name of Heida. Take a gentle

stroll alongside the vineyard from

Visperterminen to the picturesque

streets of Visp.

Winter tip:

Find out all about the countryside,

culinary specialities and the ancient,

exciting legends from the Heida vil-

lage Visperterminen and the region

on a guided snowshoe walk.

➤ Visp: pulsating business and congress centre.

Visp is the hub and the crossroads of Upper Valais. A host of retail outlets in the town centre and the outlying malls

offer an alluring variety. Thanks to the construction of the NEAT Base Tunnel, Visp is a rail node that can quickly be

reached from Switzerland and abroad – so Zurich, Basel and Milan are just two hours away from Visp, your congress

venue.

A sun-drenched congress surrounded by a superb chain of high peaks is a special experience that you can count on if

you choose Visp’s La Poste Culture and Congress Centre as the venue for your event. The Litterna Hall features unique

architecture and excellent facilities for large events. To add variety to your programme, you could opt for a wine-tasting

combined with a tour of the historic old town, or a cultural event at the La Poste theatre.

Visp Highlights:

1. Visp can be quickly reached thanks to the Lötsch-

berg Base Tunnel and its own rail node station.

2. The La Poste Culture and Congress Centre.

3. An experienced, professional organisation team

will assist with your events.

www.zermatt.ch

Year-round tip:

Gourmet walking tour: a total of 18

restaurants in Zermatt have been

awarded a total of 246 points by the

Gault Millau gourmet guide. During

your guided gourmet walking tour,

you’ll be spoilt at three of the world’s

best mountain restaurants.

Summer tip:

Team building and adventure: Master

rope ladders, bridges and zip lines in

the Forest Fun Park, tackle the Mam-

mut fixed-rope route high above the

Zermatt rooftops or get an adrenalin

kick on the Gorge Adventure in the

Gorner Gorge.

Winter tip:

At home with the Eskimos: Use the in-

comparable ambiance of an igloo vil-

lage for your next media conference,

product presentation or anniversary.

Combined with a snowshoe trek and

fondue fun, your event is guaranteed

to be a resounding success.

➤ Zermatt – Matterhorn: surrounded by 38 four-thousand-meter peaks.

This is the great adventure for employees your company wants to reward. Exceptional team-building experiences are in

store, such as abseiling in glacier crevasses or conquering the Breithorn (4,164 m), the easiest 4,000-meter peak in the

Alps. Cocktail receptions and product presentations in the Glacier Palace or the Igloo are bound to be impressive events

against this backdrop. Events staged in Europe’s highest seminar room (3,880 m) will deliver outstanding results.

Rewards should also include exclusive pleasures: a gourmet walking tour or a meal at one of the top-flight restaurants

in Matterhorn village or on the mountain, or cocktails on a mountain summit – with a helicopter flight around the Mat-

terhorn!

Zermatt Highlights:

1. A unique experience on Europe’s highest mountain

railway – with a view of 38 4,000-meter peaks!

2. Supreme culinary delights in 18 Gault Millau gour-

met restaurants.

3. Dry, clear air – entirely car-free.

mal spring water, together with sal-

mon rolls, cheese and finest Valais

air-cured meat. A unique, unforgetta-

ble cocktail hour!

Varen – long traded as a secret tip

among nature lovers. Visit one of the

the cellarer and sample the excellent

Varen wines for yourself.

Winter tip:

Raclette and sledging fun. Start with

a walk up to the Chalet Weidstübli

for a proper Valais raclette with all

the trimmings, that’s to say Fendant

wine, fruit salad and schnapps. Then

sledge down and back to the village.

and wellness oasis.

➤ Martigny: gateway to the south.

Martigny is the only Valais town with direct access to France and Italy. The ”Foire du Valais”, the Agrovina and the

“Prim’Vert” show that we offer the largest capacity for events in the Rhone plain. CERM offers various halls and room

combinations for conferences, meetings, concerts and gala events for 30 to 4,000 persons. CERM attracts 280,000

visitors each year, proof that it is the Rhone delta’s ideal venue for meeting people and exchanging ideas. The mediaeval

Bâtiaz Castle, the Semblanet mill (still operating today) and Martigny’s two major museums are ideal venues for parties

or cocktails. The nearby resorts of Verbier and Chamonix, and the thermal spas at Ovronnaz, Saillon and Lavey offer

options to combine your event with some relaxation.
