Randa, Administrative division in Valais, Switzerland
Randa is a municipality in Valais located in the Matter Valley, positioned between the Weisshorn and Dom mountains. The area consists of several small settlements nestled within the alpine landscape.
The area was shaped by two major natural disasters: a devastating avalanche in 1819 and a rockslide with subsequent flooding in 1991. These events left lasting marks on the region's story.
German is the main language spoken here, though you will also hear Albanian and Serbo-Croatian among residents. This mix of languages reflects the community's international connections and daily coexistence.
The area is best accessed by car or public transport through the valley roads. Plan your visit to allow time for exploring the mountain paths and higher settlements.
The Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge here is the world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge. It offers visitors an extraordinary way to cross high above the valley floor and see the surrounding peaks from a completely different angle.
