Réchy is a hamlet of the Chalais commune in the Valais Rhône plain, on the left bank of the river. The parish of Chalais is documented from 1279 and included Chippis until 1856. From the late Middle Ages, Chalais used the pastures of Vercorin, and a dense irrigation network developed from the 13th century. A road link to Vercorin opened in 1938, a cable car in 1951.

Residents are called Chalaisards, nicknamed Renoillards ("frog people") in local speech, and the commune's Valais patois name is Tsalî. The parish, documented from 1279, long included Chippis, which separated only in 1856. Irrigation channels laid out from the 13th century fed the meadows and vines on the Rhône's left bank.

A Swiss Post Bus reaches the village or you can drive to Vercorin and use the cable car for access to the upper areas. Summer and early autumn are the best seasons to visit when trails and lakes are fully accessible.
