      VERCOR‌IN
            - le charme en plus -

    The charm and authenticity of the village of
    Vercorin will transport you to a bygone age.
    Its raccards (granaries), barns and haylofts,
    with their timbers blackened by time, will
    enchant you. The gateway to the nature
    reserve of the Vallon de Réchy, “the natural
    jewel of the region”, Vercorin is surrounded
    by nature and its panoramic views over the
    Alps and the Rhone valley make it an ideal
    viewing gallery over Valais.

    Vercorin in figures :
    • Altitude : 1’334 m
    • Number of year-round inhabitants : 595
    • 9 restaurants
    • 5 refreshment bar
    • 1 mountain restaurant
