A culinary journey through Canton Valais

Canton Valais beckons with a wealth of culinary highlights. And you will certainly acquire a taste for them if your seminar is taking place in Brig, Visp, Martigny, Sion or Zermatt. Many species of fruit and vegetable thrive in the mild climate of this region. Maybe you’re already familiar with the delicious aroma of Valais apricots. Apples and pears also grow in abundance in the canton’s orchards.

A visit wouldn’t be quite the same without enjoying a traditional Valais platter, consisting of thinly sliced dry-cured meats, ham and bacon. Accompanied of course by the typical rye bread, a former staple food that is now registered as a protected designation of origin. We can also offer you an interesting fringe programme that shows your participants how bake their own bread.

And what better to wash it down with than a glass of superb Valais wine? Europe’s highest-altitude vineyards can be found here, at Visperterminen. This sun-kissed area produces unique, top quality wines and grapes that are valued by wine lovers from far and wide. For instance Petite Arvine, Heida, Cornalin, Syrah and Pinot Noir, the most common grape varieties here.

Succumb to the region’s culinary delicacies and introduce your participants to superb Valais specialities.
