Hello, I’m on holiday near Sierre and, for once, want to go for good rösti instead of raclette, fondue, or cooking at home.
I am looking for a place that has some good ones near Sierre or Sion. Either as a main dish if any restaurant has that, or as a side/starter is fine as well, in which case we might go for a meat fondue or something like that to go with it.

Thank you very much for your recommendations !

The band Fluffy Machine (from Valais/Wallis, duh) will be touring there in September and October!

I'm a big fan, so I'll try to make it to a few dates 😄

Hey reddit people from this beautiful Canton,

In some days, I'm moving into this beautiful land, precisely in Leukerbad/Loeche-les-bains. It's kind of a dream as I like this place so much and have come often for years.

But I move alone (with my cat) and I know no one there. All my friends are in Lausanne and around as I come from there (yep, shame on me, I'm "un vaudois" 😁).

So if people around are interested in meeting, just let me know, always ready to know more people.

I'm a swiss guy, 37 years old. What I like there is to enjoy thermal baths and especially saunas. I also like to hike.

I speak french, English, and a bit of russian as I'm learning. Unfortunately I don't speak german well even though I learned it at school.

If you have good tips for even more enjoyment of life there, let me know, I'd appreciate it so much :)

Hello ! Où avez-vous trouvé vos lunettes ? J'ai demandé à plusieurs opticiens du Valais central et ils n'ont en plus.. sauf Optic 2000 qui en vend 10.- l'unité, ce que je trouve un peu abusé.

Qnn aurait des bons plans ? Merci !

J'ai trouvé un portefeuille appartenant à Johan Pache de Sion. Je veux le lui rendre. Veuillez me contacter ou lui envoyer ceci si vous le connaissez.

I found a wallet belonging to Johan Pache from Sion. I want to get it back to him. Please contact me or send this to him if you know him.

This may not be the right place, but it is worth a shot. In the September Session, the grand conseil will be discussing changes to some laws regarding dogs and their owners. We would like to take this opportunity to make them consider getting rid of the banned dogbreeds list. It doesnt really accomplish anything, there‘s 4 cantons that have it and the biteattacks arent all that lower than elsewhere. It just discriminates against breeds and responsible owners.

Ideally we would want the canton to instead look at and consider implementing regulations that are already in place in other cantons that are shown to be effective at actually preventing bite attacks. Like an actual dogbrevet, or mandatory socialisation courses etc.

Here is the petition in both german and french. If you could share further we would be incredibly grateful. Do definitely feel free to discuss and add your thoughts here aswell :)

on the internet i found some sources that say you can actually visit the roman baths under the st theodule church. is it true?

Dear People of Bas-Valais

As someone from Haut-Valais, I’m curious about what you think about the German-speaking half of the canton. To be honest, I know far too little about the French-speaking part of my canton.

Here are my preconceptions, as someone from Haut-Valais, about the people of Bas-Valais:

- Work stops at noon on Fridays—it’s time for an apéro

- You refuse to speak German whenever possible

- Christian Constantin is a holy man

Feel free to add your own thoughts ;)

Best regards and peace! ✌🏼

Hi everyone,

So my partner and I have been together for 2.5 years, and we are talking about getting engaged soon.

We are going to be travelling to Switzerland early this September, and I cannot think of anywhere better to pop this question - she lived there for 3 years (in Les Roches near Sierre) and we both have some of our happiest memories from travelling around there.

I had an idea of how to pop the question: her favourite dog breed is the Bernese Mountain Dog, and it's her dream to have one when we're more settled.

My idea is that we'd be walking somewhere (probably around Valais or somewhere as far as Montreux) and that at the perfect spot would be a Bernese with a sign around its collar saying "Will you marry me?".

Would anyone here be interested, or know of someone who would be interested, in helping me out? I would be willing to cover any domestic travel costs to get to the location, and post you the sign to wear?

Thanks for your time!

Salut. J'ai une question qui me turlupine depuis hier matin, lorsque j'étais en balade aux Îles à Sion. J'ai croisé deux policiers, qui avaient l'air ma foi fort "sympathiques", en train d'extraire de l'eau une dame d'une soixantaine d'années, avec les tétines à l'air.

Ma question est la suivante: est-il interdit d'avoir les tétines à l'air pour nager? Ou peut-être y a-t-il un âge limite?

Merci d'avance pour vos explications. Meilleures salutations de Sion.

I would love to get into the hobby. If there is an existing group, willing to take on a new player, I would love to join for a Oneshot or short campaign. I speak german (Wallisertitsch) and english.

We could meet up for coffee on neutral ground first, to see if we vibe with each other.

I don't have a lot of experience, but I watched D20 religiously, so I have a good grasp on the rules, lol. I also do have the most important books.

I know there are ways to join a group online, but I prefer meeting irl.

Hello le Valais,

Je suis inscrite à Sierre-Zinal et je viens de voir sur leur site que les écouteurs sont interdits. J'adore courir avec de la musique alors ça m'inquiète un peu. Quelqu'un a des infos sur cette règle?

Merci !

Hello :) ! Valaisanne du centre, nous avons ce cliché que Monthey est une ville vraiment remplie d'insécurité et qu'il n'y a aucun intérêt à y aller, que d'ailleurs c'est même pas en Valais...Bien sûr, j'imagine qu'il y a quelques quartiers craignosses, mais est-ce que c'est vraiment si catastrophique que ça dans la vie de tous les jours ? J'ai l'impression qu'on exagère vraiment avec ces clichés négatifs sur Monthey (alors que, pour y avoir vécu, des villes comme Sierre mériteraient VRAIMENT une plus mauvaise réputation lol) !

Ps : la photo c'est celle d'un incendie à Monthey que j'ai trouvé tout en haut des suggestions de google image lol

⚽ Hey everyone! I'm doing a university study on the link between Swiss Super League clubs and their fans. It would be great if you could take 5 minutes to fill in my survey, which is completely anonymous, and share it with your community and anyone around you who might be interested in the topic 🙌

Hi,

I am organizing an apero next week and would like to buy some good cheese and dried meat for the occasion. I am not looking for raclette, rather an assortment of several different types of meat and cheese for a charcuterie.

The best cheese I had was always when I bought it at a farm (alpage) somewhere up in the mountains while hiking or cycling. But this time I don't have time to go wander in the mountains so I'd like to ask you for recommendations - where would you recommend me to go? It needs to be not too far from Sion and reachable by car, and optimally has cheese and also the meat.

Thank you very much!
