Chandolin – St-Luc, looking for the sun in the canton Valais, Switzerland

If sun and nature is, Chandolin It is an ideal location as it offers within a quiet and peaceful, the ability to perform various activities in the mountains, forests and roads accompanied at all times by an incredible and magnificent scenery.

located 1936 meters above sea level, It chandolin be considered in the highest populated villas in Europe. It is located in the Valle Anniviers to some 300 kilometers from Zurich 200 kilometers from Bern and 180 from Geneva.

Every journey to my understanding, enjoying from the road and Chandolin is no exception. Each bend in the road, each slope climb or every lake that skirted come with breathtaking views of forests, small villas, rolling hills, where the Alps in the background, with permanent snow peaks confirms this work of art that the Creator has given us.

The town itself retains the original wooden houses typical of the early days, as well as it maintains the style in new buildings.

There are various accommodation possibilities. Yo recomiendo una de las típicas cabanas las que e encuentran ubicadas de tal modo que el paisaje se abre de manera maravillosa al abrir las ventanas o mienrtas se disfruta la estancia en sus soleados balcones

If we make an excursion in summer, either on foot or by bicycle, es posible que en nuestro camino nos sorprendan los colores de las diversas especies florales como las orquídeas que parecen aun mas intensas en este clima privilegiado.

En el centro cívico de la ciudad exiten algunos comercios donde abastecerse como asi también tiendas con productos típicos y algunas artesanias.

En las cercanías se puede ascender al Observatorio astronómico François Bagnoud ubicado en St-Luc y realizar también el camino de los planetas hasta una altura de 2513 meters. Once there, ademas de visitar el observatorio, vale la pena detenerse a observar el entorno, the views are truly amazing. It is one of those sites that make you want to stay for hours.

Si eres amante de la avetura en bicicleta por la naturaleza o las caminatas entre bosques y montanas acompañado de un clima argradable, or simply want to enjoy a few days of peace and quiet, Chandolin es un lugar muy recomendable. If the visit is in winter, the area has 60 kilometros de pistas de esquí y snowboard, sports will be more than pleasant to practice in the company of a warm sun and almost permanent.

My visit was in April and the sun never miss, podría entonces dar crédito a aquello que los lugareños afirman… “en el canton Valais… sol todo el año”
