The canton of Wallis, or, in French: Valais, borders on France and Italy. Therefore there is a great variety in language and culture. French is spoken in the west of Wallis, while German is spoken in the east. The language border is between the towns of Sierre and Leuk in the Rhône valley. One of the main attractions is the Grosser Aletsch glacier, the largest glacier in the Alps. Lovers of sun will feel at home in the warm Rhône valley, which is, so to speak, the 'backbone' of this beautiful canton. The Rhône valley has many side-valleys, each of which with its own charm. Many spectacular viewing points can be reached in Wallis. You will find the highest mountains in Europe here, among which the impressive Matterhorn and the Dufourspitze, 4,634 m (15,203 ft) over sea and the highest point in the country. The Mont Blanc lies just across the French/Italian border. It is the highest mountain in Western Europe (4,807 m, 15,771 ft).
