Your project in the canton of Valais

Valais follows the Rhône valley from Brig to Lake Geneva, with side valleys climbing up to mountain resorts. The canton is bilingual: French-speaking Lower Valais, around Sion, Martigny and Monthey, and German-speaking Upper Valais, with Brig and Visp. On the hillsides, vineyards surround villages of stone houses and old wooden granaries. Crans-Montana and Zermatt are home to chalets, holiday flats and hotels; in Zermatt, where cars are not allowed, transporting materials requires special arrangements. At altitude, snow and sunshine influence building techniques and the working season. Wherever you live in Valais, you can write your request in English. For a chalet, a traditional mazot or an alteration in an old town, check with your municipality whether approval is needed. Give the municipality and postcode and, in a resort or at altitude, access periods and transport arrangements to the building.

  • For a chalet in a resort, note the altitude, the state of the road in winter and your availability for the work.
  • In Upper Valais, say whether you are happy to communicate in German.
  • For a village house among the vineyards, describe access via the lanes and the space for unloading materials.

Blinds and shutters in the canton of Valais

In Valais, the intense light and dry air of central Valais quickly wear out awning fabrics and turn wooden shutters grey. In Sion and Martigny, many apartment buildings are fitted with aluminium roller shutters, and motorising them appeals to apartment owners. Whether in Crans-Montana or Zermatt, many holiday chalets remain closed for several weeks: sturdy, lockable shutters then protect the interior from the weather and prying eyes. At altitude, snow sliding off the roof can jam or bend a poorly positioned blind. For a characterful old village house, ask the municipality before changing its shutters. Work on chalets is often slotted in between two seasons.

  • For a holiday chalet, choose shutters that can be operated from inside so that you can close the house quickly when leaving.
  • On a very sunny façade, choose an awning fabric treated against UV rays, which will keep its colour longer.

Frequently asked questions

What information should I give for a blind repair in Valais?

State the type of blind, whether it is manual or motorised, and describe the fault. Photos of the mechanism, the slats and any label with the brand help the technician identify spare parts. Also mention the floor and access to the window.

What information helps identify a blind or shutter repair?

Photograph the complete unit and any visible label from a safe position. State whether it is manual or motorised, and describe when movement stops or becomes uneven. Do not force stuck slats, remove high-level covers or access powered mechanisms to look for a fault.

What should I compare in blind and roller shutter repair quotes?

Compare diagnosis, replacement components and adjustment of the mechanism. Check whether motors, controls or only the fabric or slats are included. Ask how compatibility and testing are confirmed, and whether surrounding finishes or disposal of removed parts are part of the repair.

How should I prepare for the blind and roller shutter repair visit or work?

Keep the opening accessible and note the floor and external access. Provide earlier installation information if available. Stop using a damaged or unstable unit until it has been assessed, and leave dismantling of powered or high-level mechanisms to the repair specialist.
