Val de Réchy, Alpine valley in Valais, Switzerland
The Val de Réchy extends for 11 kilometers through the Pennine Alps, featuring steep slopes and a V-shaped formation carved by glacial activity.
The valley's geological formation dates back to the Ice Age, which created its characteristic features including glacial knobs, moraines, and cirque hollows.
The valley maintains traditional Swiss Alpine conservation practices, with local organizations monitoring and protecting its diverse mountain ecosystems and water resources.
Visitors can reach the valley by taking public transportation from Chalais to Vercorin, followed by a cable car ride to Crêt du Midi.
The mountain stream La Rèche flows freely through the valley, sustaining extensive blanket mires that host numerous plant species in its upper section.
