Vista Alpina is at home in the most beautiful, healthiest and safest canton in Switzerland, Valais. Europe's most beautiful skiing and hiking areas (Zermatt, Saas Fee, etc.) are on our doorstep. We work and live where others go on holiday.
Thanks to the location of the main branch directly in the Visp railway station building, it is also possible to commute directly from Spiez (25‘), Thun (35’) or Bern (56'). Even Zurich is only 2 hours away by train, Lausanne a good 1 ½ hours.
For families with growing children, Valais is an ideal place to live with an excellent education system.
