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.
Painting work in the canton of Valais
In Valais, the intense sunshine and dryness of central Valais leave a strong mark on façades: colours fade and wood turns grey faster than elsewhere. In Sion, apartment blocks and condominium flats generate interior work and the renovation of rendered façades, while houses in the old town mean checking with your municipality before altering their appearance. Among the vineyards, stone houses and old raccards are treated with breathable products suited to raw timber and thick walls. In Zermatt, where motorised transport is restricted, organising the delivery of materials is part of the job. At altitude, façade work is scheduled for the summer months.
- On a larch raccard or granary, ask for an oil or stain that keeps the natural look of the wood rather than an opaque paint.
- In central Valais, avoid painting a façade in full afternoon sun: start with the shaded sides and follow the path of the sun.

Frequently asked questions
How should I prepare my flat before the painter arrives in Valais?
Move furniture to the centre of the rooms or into another room, and take down pictures and curtains. Choose your colours and finishes in advance, ideally with samples tested on the wall. The painter will then protect floors and fittings before starting work.
How should wall defects be included in a painting request?
Photograph cracks, peeling finishes or stains and describe whether they have changed or returned. Painting alone may not resolve an underlying moisture or movement problem. Ask what assessment and preparation are proposed before choosing a finish for the affected surface.
What should I compare in painter quotes?
Compare the surfaces, preparation, paint system and number of coats described. Include ceilings, woodwork or radiators only where specified. Check protection, moving furniture and cleaning after the work, and confirm colour samples before a large area is painted.
How should I prepare for the painter visit or work?
List furniture that cannot be moved and discuss protection with the painter. Test selected colours on a sample in the room's actual light. Take down removable decorations if agreed, and keep access to the surfaces clear without scraping or treating suspect materials yourself.
