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.
Complete renovation in the canton of Valais
In Valais, a complete renovation is prepared with the terrain in mind and the great difference between the Rhône plain and the resorts. In Sion, Martigny and Monthey, flats and villas on the plain are being fully modernised, with attention to intense sunshine and hot summers. In the mountains, in Crans-Montana or Zermatt, chalets and holiday homes are frequently renovated from top to bottom between two tourist seasons. Mayens and old larch raccards require a particular approach, as their conversion is regulated; check with your municipality from the first plans. In Upper Valais, around Brig and Visp, stone and timber village houses have their own character.
- For a resort chalet, agree with the tradesperson on possible work periods, taking into account snowbound access and letting of the property.
- In a raccard or mayen, have the load-bearing larch timbers checked before insulating, so as not to enclose wood that is already weakened.

Frequently asked questions
How is a full renovation organised in Valais?
It starts with a site visit and a clear definition of the project, followed by the necessary plans and formalities. The trades then work in a planned order, usually from demolition to finishes. Regular site meetings let you follow progress and approve choices.
How can the scope of a full renovation be kept manageable?
Break the project into rooms and work packages, then identify their interfaces and the person coordinating them. Existing structure and installations need assessment before the final sequence is agreed. Ask how choices, discoveries and changes will be documented and approved throughout the project.
What should I compare in full renovation quotes?
Compare surveys, design, removal, installations and finishes against the same detailed brief. Check which work packages are provisional and who coordinates them. Ask for a project-specific sequence and approval process, rather than relying on a generic duration for a whole-property renovation.
How should I prepare for the full renovation visit or work?
Gather plans, earlier reports and a list of retained features. Describe occupancy and access constraints early. Agree surveys, protection, storage and temporary services with the project team; do not strip out old materials before the required assessments and work sequence have been established.
