Tips from the Community

visit VISP
April 19, 2026, Altstadt Visp

The old Visp developed in the hilly zone because until about 150 years ago there were repeated floods in the valley floor. The Rhone and the Vispa were corrected, expanded, and channelized. This freed up the entire area for development. Another reason why people built on the hill was the military pressure on the Upper Valais. On a hill with ring walls, one could defend oneself better. Several fires in the 13th and 14th centuries and the great fire of 1518 destroyed almost all of Visp. Thus, only individual houses built before 1518 can be found.

A beautiful wooden sign indicates the starting point of the Phoenix from the Ashes Trail. The approximately three-kilometer-long trail leads through the Eyholz forest fire area and features challenging elements. An information board provides more information about the trail itself.

The historic irrigation canals in Valais, seen here, are called "bisses." They were built to supply the pastures and fields with water from mountain streams.

The quaint old town lies on the banks of the river Vispa, at the entrance to the valley of the same name. The alleys hide many charming restaurants and cafés, perfect for a stop on your bike tour.

High above the town of Visp lies Visperterminen with its fantastic view. The place was already settled in prehistoric times, and in 1715, four villages joined together to form the present-day municipality. A special feature of Visperterminen are the vineyards: on terraces built from dry stone walls, vines are cultivated up to an altitude of over 1,100 meters, making Visperterminen the highest vineyards in Europe. Heida is the name of the white wine made from the Savagnin grape.
