		The VALAIS (Wallis in German; Vallese in Italian) is Switzerland’s third-largest canton, a diverse swathe of country occupying the valley – hence the name – of the River Rhône, from its source in the glaciers of the central Alps all the way to its inflow to Lake Geneva.
		The dryness and sunshine of the valley are ideal vine-growing conditions, and the canton’s 22,000 vineyard owners are famous for producing some of the finest wine in the country.
		The Valais is still a wild and little-known place outside the trio of famous resorts bred by the mountains: Zermatt, Verbier and Crans-Montana.
