The surrounding idyllic Thyon-Région is made us of the municipalities of Hérémence and Vex and stretches from the plain of the Rhône (600 m) to the Mont-Blanc de Cheilon (3,870 m). Winter holiday-makers can enjoy the view of the peak of Dent Blanche (4,357 m), as well as the fascinating surrounding mountain scenery of the Swiss Alps, and will rejoice over Thyon's sunny location. Valaisian farm houses with artful decorations, as well as typical chalets, lend a particularly unique charm to the idyllic Thyon-Région. Here, mountain lovers can take part in fantastic hikes and adventurous mountain bike tours during the summer. In the winter, Thyon, as the eastern entry point to the huge ski area "Les 4 Vallées", impresses with its wide range offers for winter sports and a panorama that spreads out over the Matterhorn, the Dent Blanche and the Mont Blanc. It is an excellent holiday destination for travellers who want to unite idyll and winter sports.

4 Vallées

The famous 4 Vallées are undoubtedly one of the highlights in the life of a winter sports enthusiast. They offer 412 km of slopes and ski routes, over 300 km of which are medium to steep. The "Four Valleys" are also a paradise for deep snow fans. At the centre lies the 3,330-metre-high Mont Fort, also known as the "summit of pleasure". From here, the longest descent into the valley, at 8 km, covers a difference in altitude of over 1,600 m!

In seven villages, there is something for everyone, even away from the slopes. Shopping opportunities, restaurants and bars leave nothing to be desired. Despite its popularity, the Alpine flair of the 4 Vallées has been largely preserved.
