An intact village to discover...
Nax, Skybalcony



The expression "Skybalcony" is not only a poetic slogan. The village has extended itself on a real balcony from where you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Rhone Valley and the Bernese Alps.



Almost entirely built in a natural depression kept away from the wind, visitors are surprised by a vaste and beautiful plateau enriched with hillocks from the glacial epoch. It's natural setting impresses travelers as well.

Nax is opening up to tourism and try to preserve its character as traditional village of the Valais. Its houses, barns or lofts are still made of wood, in a pure age-old way. Few houses from XVIth century B.C. still witness the local history.

Nax, 1300 m., is located in the heart of Valais, between Val d'Anniviers and Val d'Hérens, at a few steps from the Vallon de Réchy which is a nature protected area.

A wide range of sports activities is offered to all, including the most demanding guests. Nax is a real paradise for nature lovers and hikers.
