Vercorin
Vercorin is a charming Valais village perched above the Rhône valley near Sierre, with an old centre of wooden houses, a family ski area and access to the Val de Réchy nature reserve. It is a quiet alternative to the large resorts. A private chauffeur from Geneva brings you there in about two hours, without changing to the cable car at Chalais.
Chauffeur's tipVercorin's old village has narrow lanes; the chauffeur stops as close as possible, so mention if you need help with heavy luggage on arrival.
The route from Geneva to Vercorin
Your chauffeur follows Lake Geneva past Lausanne and Montreux, then the A9 up the Rhône valley through Martigny and Sion. Just before Sierre, the road crosses to the south side of the valley at Chalais and climbs through forests and meadows with a series of bends up to Vercorin. About 177 km in total and around two hours, the last section on a mountain road open throughout the year.
Arriving in Vercorin
Vercorin sits on a sunny plateau, with the historic village of wooden granaries and chalets at its heart and newer chalets spread around it. A cable car also links the village with Chalais in the valley, but by private car you arrive directly. The gondola to the Crêt-du-Midi ski area starts near the village. Your chauffeur drops you at your accommodation or as close as the narrow lanes permit. In summer, walks lead into the Val de Réchy, a protected valley above the village.
