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.
Tiling work in the canton of Valais
In Valais, tilers work between the plain, the vineyards and the high-altitude resorts. In Martigny, newer buildings call for modern bathrooms and stoneware over underfloor heating. In resorts such as Crans-Montana, holiday homes and flats renovate their bathrooms out of season, using easy-care materials. Converted chalets and mazots call for stone floors or wood-effect tiles in keeping with the mountain style. Intense sunshine and cold nights put terraces to the test: the temperature differences require flexible joints and frost-resistant tiles. In the villages, the delivery of materials along narrow roads also needs planning, and in some resorts vehicle access is restricted.
- For a south-facing chalet terrace, ask for movement joints that absorb the temperature differences between day and night.
- In a resort flat, have the work done in the off-season, when lifts and access routes are available for materials.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose tiles for my bathroom in Valais?
Choose non-slip tiles for the floor and consider easy-to-clean surfaces for the shower area. Large formats reduce the number of joints but require a very flat substrate. Ask the tiler for advice on waterproofing and on the grout colour.
Why does a wet-area tiling project need more than tile selection?
The base, waterproofing and junctions around drains or fixtures affect the completed wet area. Specify the room's use and the layout, then ask how preparation and sealing are handled. Tile appearance alone does not establish the suitability of the whole installation.
What should I compare in tiler quotes?
Compare base preparation, waterproofing where needed, tile supply, laying and joints. Check cuts, edges, thresholds and work around fittings. Ensure the same tile format and finish are specified, and ask which tasks are coordinated with plumbing or other adjoining work.
How should I prepare for the tiler visit or work?
Keep tile specifications and room plans ready and identify items to retain. Agree grout colour and edge details before laying. Discuss access and the conditions for using the finished surfaces with the installer, based on the selected products and actual work sequence.
