The Swiss Alps, commonly known as the Alpine region of Switzerland, stand out as a significant natural characteristic of the country. Together with the Swiss Plateau and the Swiss part of the Jura Mountains, they form three primary physiographic regions of Switzerland.

Valais, known as Wallis in German, lies nestled in the southern region of Switzerland. This picturesque canton boasts the iconic pyramid-shaped Matterhorn mountain, luxurious Alpine retreats, and the enchanting vineyards of the upper Rhône River Valley. Zermatt, a charming resort town situated at the base of the Matterhorn, beckons visitors with its abundance of ski slopes and scenic hiking trails tracing ancient mule traders' paths. Additionally, it serves as a gateway to the breathtaking Glacier Express train journey. Towards the east, the expansive Aletsch Glacier captivates with its immense beauty and grandeur.
