Europe’s most beautiful ski and hiking areas (Zermatt, Saas Fee, among others) are right on the doorstep. We work and live where others go on holiday. Due to the location of the main branch directly in the Visp railway station building, commuting is also possible with direct connections from Spiez (25’), Thun (35’), or Bern (56’).
