Vercorin

The charm and authenticity of the village of Vercorin will take you back to another era. Its wooded barns and attics, blackened by time, will enchant you. Vercorin is the gateway to the Vallon de Réchy nature reserve, the "natural jewel of the region". It is surrounded by nature and its panorama of the Alps and the Rhone plain makes it the balcony of the Valais.
