Val d'Hérens (German: Eringertal) is a picturesque valley in Valais canton, Switzerland. The valley stretches from the city of Sion in a southeast direction towards the Pennine Alps. It is surrounded by a number of high mountains including the Dent d'Hérens, Dent Blanche, Mont Collon and Mont Blanc de Cheilon.

Val d'Hérens is a place to see traditional rural Switzerland. Here, you may come across farmers still wearing traditional clothes. There are quaint villages dotting the landscape. They comprise a cluster of wooden chalets that hug the valley.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
