Why fall in love with Hérémence?

Hérémence is an authentic Alpine village in the Val d’Hérens, at an altitude of 1,230 meters, where tradition and modernity blend in the heart of a pristine natural setting. The village has preserved a remarkable architectural heritage—chalets, barns, and haylofts—and is home to a contemporary church that is as unusual as it is impressive, a true architectural masterpiece.

Just 17 minutes from Sion, the capital of Valais, the region offers direct access to the 4 Vallées ski area and its 450 km of slopes in winter, as well as a fantastic playground for hiking, rock climbing, and outdoor activities in summer. The famous pyramids of Euseigne and the impressive Grande Dixence Dam round out the region’s must-see attractions, which can be explored year-round.

A rare place to live or vacation, combining authentic Valais charm, preserved heritage, and direct access to the mountains.

Municipal assistance for your primary residence:

• The municipality of Hérémence actively encourages year-round residency within its borders. It offers a Housing Assistance of up to Fr. 25,000 for people building or purchasing their primary residence in the municipality.

A compelling reason for future residents wishing to settle year-round in this authentic alpine setting.
