Bramois

This large village located on the left bank of the Rhône, at the entrance to the Val d'Hérens, is part of the municipality of Sion. Nowadays very residential, it has preserved an old village that you will only discover if you leave the main road.

Located less than 4 km from the centre of Sion, along the road that leads to Chippis on the left bank of the Rhône, Bramois is not a tourist destination but rather a soulless residential suburb. At least in appearance...

On our way back from a panoramic shooting in the Val d'Hérens, we took the wrong road and drove through the old village instead of following the usual route. What we saw made us want to return to shoot some 360° panoramas there...

A small chapel next to an old bridge over the Borgne, the river that flows down the Val d'Hérens, then a large church, then an old village that is nothing like a dormitory town – this is what you will discover if, like us, you take the wrong road!

The old village of Bramois is one of these hidden gems that abound in Valais, so don't hesitate to get lost there...
