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.
Made-to-measure projects in the canton of Valais
In Valais, made-to-measure projects are multiplying around mayens, raccards and chalets. In Zermatt, second-home owners convert granaries into characterful flats, install a private spa or refit a chalet for letting. In the Rhône plain, around Sion, recent villas and flats take pergolas for shade, wine cellars and outdoor kitchens, making the most of a dry climate. Mountain villages mean difficult access and a building season limited by snow. Many old buildings combine stone and larch, two materials that must be treated with care. For a raccard or mayen, check with the municipality before designing the project.
- For a converted raccard, keep the flat stones placed between the base and the timber section: they are part of its identity.
- In the plain, a pergola with adjustable louvres lets you enjoy the terrace despite the strong Valais summer sun.

Frequently asked questions
What details should I include for a bespoke project in Valais?
Describe the finished result, intended use and work that does not fit a standard category. Include approximate dimensions, materials and items to keep, with a sketch or safe photographs. State whether design, fabrication and installation should all be included in the proposed project.
How should I describe a project that spans several trades?
Explain the finished result first, then list the elements requiring design, fabrication or installation. Photographs or a sketch can show how these elements connect. Ask who coordinates the different tasks and which parts require a specialist assessment before a complete scope is agreed.
What should I compare in quotes for a bespoke project?
Compare deliverables, materials, design stages and installation against the same brief. Identify prototypes, measuring and any specialist checks separately. Ask how changes are documented and who approves final drawings, so that an initial concept is not confused with a finished installed item.
How should I prepare for a bespoke project visit or work?
Collect dimensions you can obtain safely, photographs and examples of the function or appearance wanted. Identify items to keep and restrictions on access. Keep the brief focused on the work; contact details and any sensitive documents can be handled privately when needed.
