All commodities are available in walking distance, boucher, bakery, small convenience store, hair dresser, pharmacy, banks, swimming pool (in summer), ice skating rink (in winter) etc. In Vissoie you have two restaurants with typical offerings such as raclette and fondue, but also more creative and inventive dishes.
In the Val d'Anniviers you can enjoy magnificient hiking trails of all different kinds of difficulties with impressive scenaries and refreshing mountain lake swims. You have numerous mountainbike trails as well as a downhill park in St-Luc. The valley is also excellent for road cycling, offering the possibility of multiple round trips. You have also the possibility to play tennis and mini-golf for free in summer, as well as access the swimming pools in Zinal, Grimentz and St-Luc. For a small supplement you also have acces to the SPA facilities.
In winter you can ski in the iconic St-Luc/Chandolin or Zinal-Grimentz ski resorts all going up to 3000 m high, so snow is guaranteed. Another ski resort, Vercorin, is also in the same valley and reachable in 25 minutes.
Whatever in which season you come, enjoy a drink on the balcony at the end of a sportive day while glazing at the impressive Corne de Sorbois, Obergabelhorn or the Besso.
Vissoie is also just a stone throw away from the most important towns in the Rhône valley, Sierre and Sion, which are always worthwhile a visit. Other ski resorts such as Crans Montana, Nendaz, Anzère or Loèche-les-Bains are at about 50 minutes away by car. Lausanne around one hour.
